As I usually run my Pis as headless devices, @MacLemon^* gave me the tip to remove everything X to get me a couple of Megs of additional free harddisk space on my Raspberry Pi.

To achive this, just run (at your own risk):

sudo apt-get --yes purge xserver* x11-common x11-utils x11-xkb-utils x11-xserver-utils xarchiver xauth xkb-data console-setup xinit lightdm libx{composite,cb,cursor,damage,dmcp,ext,font,ft,i,inerama,kbfile,klavier,mu,pm,randr,render,res,t,xf86}* lxde* lx{input,menu-data,panel,polkit,randr,session,session-edit,shortcut,task,terminal} obconf openbox gtk* libgtk* alsa* nano python-pygame python-tk python3-tk scratch tsconf desktop-file-utils
sudo apt-get --yes autoremove
sudo apt-get --yes autoclean
sudo apt-get --yes clean

(you can grab yourself a Club-Mate while this runs)

pi@raspberrypi:~$ df -H

Not bad. :D

YMMV of course. For example, you may want to keep „alsa*” in case you want to make some noise with the Raspberry Pi.
