Reflashing does clear everything, unless you somehow managed to contruct a JTAG plug and mess up something there.
Are you perhaps restoring a backup?

I have two units I have been evaluating. I finally have been able to get all the apps I need working on one of the two (call it A).
The important ones (in the install order) are Notes, Xournal, OMWeather, (install and delete Rhapsody), Gnumeric, VNCViewer, Gftp, becomeroot, and Skype. Then, I also install the osso-status-cpu and simple launcher. (I have never gotten Autoscan to work on either unit).
I documented my steps on the A unit. So I flashed B, and tried a restore from a backup external from A, which failed at some point. So I flashed B again, and started my procedure again from a non-restore, total "re-install". Not only would the first app not load (Xournal), but next Skype will not install. Remember, I have a working unit with a documented install procedure. From a fresh flash, I cannot install Skype....
so I figure, something is stored in memory. Any help is appreciated. I may try to call Nokia (shrug).

Something in memory wouldn't make things not install. You've misdiagnosed your problem.
Provide a log file from Application Manager, and we can work to a solution.

Just reflashed B again. Did the normal mandatory start up stuff, and immediately went to install Skype and it is "unable to install".
Log:
hildon-application-manager 2.0.2
----------
Installing Skype 1.7.62.51.1
Failed using a MMC to download packages. Using default.
E: Can't create directory at /media/mmc2/.apt-archive-cache/:Read only file system
E: Unable to lock the download directory
Thanks for your time.

Your internal flash card is corrupted. Stick in in a card reader or something and format it.

Do you have a card in the internal SD slot? Is it formatted VFAT?
There is probably a config file that tells the application manager to use the internal SD slot, which can be changed. But for now, I would suggest putting a SD card into the internal SD slot.

You can reformat it either with the built-in filemanager (you'll have to disable virtual memory first, if you have it enabled, though), or by plugging the card into a card reader of some kind and reformatting it with a computer.
There is probably a config file that tells the application manager to use the internal SD slot, which can be changed. But for now, I would suggest putting a SD card into the internal SD slot.

Where and how do you find/change the config file?
Thanks
