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.
Some versions of Preware will not delete a disabled feed. Before you try these steps, enable the feed(s) before deleting them.
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 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#
