Manually Remove Preware Feeds

Special Note

You should not need to use these instructions under normal circumstances. Preware allows you to add, edit, and delete feeds via the "Manage Feeds" option in its application menu. These instructions should only be used in the event of difficulties using this functionality from within Preware.

Instructions

Feed files are stored in '/media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg'. We recommend you move the feed files you want to remove into an archive folder on /media/internal in case you change your mind. You can go back and physically remove them later.

In the example below, an archive directory is created and the "WebosTesting" feed is moved there:

root@palm-webos-device:/# cd /media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg
root@palm-webos-device:/media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg# ls
