== Special Note ==
You should, in normal circumstances, not need to use these instructions. 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, we'll remove the "WebosTesting" feed by moving it to an archive folder that we created.

<pre>
root@palm-webos-device:/# cd /media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg
root@palm-webos-device:/media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg# ls
Alpha.conf.disabled palm-beta.conf.disabled precentral-themes.conf.disabled
WebosTesting.conf.disabled palm-catalog-updates.conf.disabled precentral.conf
arch.conf palm-catalog.conf.disabled prethemer.conf.disabled
optware.conf palm-web-updates.conf.disabled webos-internals.conf
palm-beta-updates.conf.disabled palm-web.conf.disabled webos-patches.conf
root@palm-webos-device:/media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg# mkdir /media/internal/feed-archive
root@palm-webos-device:/media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg# mv WebosTesting.conf.disabled /media/internal/feed-archive/
root@palm-webos-device:/media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg#
