I'm not sure how to find the size a package is taking up on your system but one way would be for example you want to find the space "real golf" takes up you can find the files then manually check their sizes...

In terminal you can type:

Code:
find / | grep real\ golf
This would give you the directories used by real golf and you can then proceed to check the file sizes...


Edit: On second thought when you click on manage applications, the size of the package should be there too...Maybe you want to check using that way?


Edit 2: Just checked a test and its "realgolf" not "real golf" so just take note in case you get nothing from the find i posted above

What you want is
Code:
apt-get clean
You could as well go with
Code:
cd /
du -k * | sort -nr | head
which will give you a reverse ordered list from biggest to smallest file (filesize is shown in kilobytes).

Or you could just check folder sizes with
Code:
du -sk * | sort -nr | more

Ah thats what I meant...Sometimes I tend to lose my head


Lesson to be learnt: Check twice what you give to others

No, there is no size info, just application and version.

Edit 2: Just checked a test and its "realgolf" not "real golf" so just take note in case you get nothing from the find i posted above [/QUOTE]

I did so, but i get lots of unnecessary entries like process id etc..
Too complicated

See from the list you can see /opt/realgolf is where most of the files are stored so check the folder size of /opt/realgolf by using:

ls -l /opt/realgolf2011/bin && ls -l /opt/realgofl2011/data

My rough calculation shows its at least around 300MB...So uninstalling real golf will allow you to install many other apps...

P.S. please check the file sizes yourself as I'm quite sleepy-eyed so I might be wrong


Edit: brkn's post above on the top of the page is the most useful so it would be better to follow that instead

Using the -h option in du makes it unsuitable for sorting by size (as e.g. 224.0K > 139.5M) , so I'd suggest to modify command above it as "du -sk * | sort -nr | more"

BTW, after getting the results from previous command it is possible to do "cd <top directory>" and repeat the process to pinpoint the fat culprit(s).

Seems like home/user is pretty loaded but definetely not full.
Next culprit is usr/ and opt/ so should I just delete files from there or this will destroy my phone?

Or you could just check folder sizes with
Code:
du -sh * | sort -nr | more
I get lots of "du: can't open 'proc/........ permission denied" lines...
I am logged in with devel-su.
