freeing space /system/app (root)

[fdisk]

hello
my milestone 2.1 was running out of internal memory space, so I decided to remove some useless files from /system/app/ (Dock.apk, Calculator.apk, etc...)
but it still shows the same usage!

are my .apk in another partition with different quota?

if so, maybe I could move some of my custom apps to /system/app/ so it uses this partition space and not "user" space?

also, I tried to remove Maps.apk (I'd reinstall it as a normal app), but it still shows 9 MBs used... the tutorial I followed recommended the command "pm uninstall", but i get "Failure"

thanks

look in data/app that's where download apps and update infos are store

Try using titanium backup to delete the apps. Take caution of what you remove, some of the apps are interlinked and won't work if you've deleted one.

Also after you're done, reboot into recovery, do a dalvik wipe, and restart. You should see a change in space used.
