RUT360 - not enough space to install the packages

[Maksim]

I am trying to install nmap package and can not do it because of lack of space.

What could be the solution? I assume there is an option to delete some packages? What packages could be safely deleted then? E.g I see plenty of vuci packages installed, which I assume are kind of UI-related packages. Can I delete them?

Hello,

Custom scripts and apps installed on a router can often cause this issue. As a solution, it is recommended to remove these files to free up space on your device.

Regarding vuci, removing certain packages might affect the ability to manage the system through the web interface.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
