i just bought a sansa clip+ and i put rockbox on it, i was just wondering if you van remove the games from rockbox.

Sure you can. You will gain next to nothing however as games are tiny and loaded from disk only on demand.

Open the .rockbox folder, go to apps, and delete any plugins you don't want.

Curious : how much disk space did you save?

If one was to remove the entire 'games' directory from /.rockbox/rocks/ on the Clip+, you would save 857.7kB*.

This translates to (if I can math-ify the numbers correctly in my head) a grand total of 2.7 seconds of MP3 @ 320 CBR. Which in turn translates to "...why would you even bother?".

Perhaps there's some ulterior motive here that we're not yet privy to, but presently - with the information given - it seems like a complete waste of time and effort.

If you are not wanting to use the plugins at all (I realize I'm taking a giant speculative leap here), you could just customize the main menu and remove the 'Plugins' main menu item completely.

Sorry to say this Saint, you mixed bitrate which is expressed in *kilo bits per second* with kilobytes. The difference is not that much however as 21 sec. is not Fidel's Castro speech length either :-)

Well...that's what I get for trying to do math-ify with the 'ol brain meat.

I'll delegate this task to silicon next time, I believe.
