... but yes, I'm sure there was a mail-list discussion/resolution, specifically relating to a particular Activity that heaped a pile of data in its /data (I think) and was causing kids issues when trying to later free up flash space. Apologies I can't remember more just now, perhaps it was a patch that landed in Dextrose but didn't get pushed upstream?
