Cleaning out the TV files (F6500)

Hello. I want to clean out my TV (F6500). I would like to delete all 'samlogs' and delete all deactivated apps like 'NoDRM', 'PVRtoTS', 'PVRanyDev' etc. Does casual factory reset will do it? What should I do if I wish to have the TV like from the shopping box?

I always wonder about users, who want clean something from their TV`s :)
sam.log and samygo.log exist in /mnt/
deactivated "apps" - for sure they are just scripts - /mnt/etc/init.d/
I think deleting is absolete - except logs, rest files are small and does not require a lot of space. Removing it you don`t get any signifficant improvement nor more storage space.

We already don't know which root is it, so can't reply correctly anyway :)
However factory reset + Smarthub reset should do the job in all cases.

Smarthub reset does full removal of samygo. The question was only about unused stuff.
