I can also delete Debian, Redhat and X ;-) then I gain about 1 MB in space.

But to be honest, in OpenWrt users are likely to be running a compressed
file system so it may not matter that much. Others (like me) will be
running the root FS on top of a USB stick and then space is not that much
of a concern.

Thanks for the ncdu tip, nice to know about it.

(BTW, thanks to everyone for all the answers!)

Kind regards,
