Comment(by wmb at firmworks.com):

 OFW q2d07c and later have the ability to delete files from the JFFS2
 filesystem, so long as there is at least one empty page for storing the
 deletion node.
 {{{
   ok dir n:\home\olpc\.sugar\default\data\
   ok rm n:\home\olpc\.sugar\default\data\XXX
 }}}
 where XXX is the name of the file you want to delete.
