Tiny Core Base > CorePlus
Deletion of applications
AnonFriendly:
Hi I'm new to tiny core (have been using other linux distros for 6 months), however im stuck on one problem.
I have tried to find solutions to this already because i dont want to waste everyones time.
I downloaded both firefox and the firefox-setup applications on my tinycore, but have since switched to another web browser.
So i wanted to delete these two, since the whole point of tinycore is to take up less space and all that.
I went into the app store/manager, selected deletion from the dropdown menu, selected the files to put into the right hand column and the selected each one, then pressed delete.
however whenever i restart my computer, i still find those in the menu.
Please, if any of you guys have any recommendations, or if im making a stupid noob mistake please point it out to me.
Again, im sorry if wasting any of your time, i really did check around the web to try to find a solution myself.
Thanks in advance guys :)

Hi AnonFriendly
Welcome to the forum. The Apps utility marks the extensions for deletion. The extensions actually get deleted the next time you shutdown
or reboot. There is a very good book on the workings of Tinycore you can download from here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html
I highly recommend you give it a read.

thank you very much rich.
i must have mistaken the delete button, from the delete menu, to mean perm. delete, instead of remove from deletion list.
i will download that book immidiately so i dont make any more stupid mistakes...
i really appreciate the help and the link.

What delete button?
AnonFriendly:
when you are in the app installer, click apps in the top left corner. the go down to maintence, submenu called dependancies and deletions. i would mark them as deleted files, placing them in the right hand column. but then hit the delete button on the bottom after that, removing them from the deletion list. :/ dumb mistake.
