Looking to free some space in internal memory of atv2 i tried to delete the content of /private/var/cache/apt/archives via Filezilla but I came across a permission denied error.
Is this normal? Shouldn't I be able to delete those files? Aren't they backups?

Didnt realise that folder location was on the wiki actually haha . Try logged in as root if its a permission error.

After clearing that, it still says on a couple movies watching cache is full. Going to the Video directory there's nothing newly added for cache. Any ideas where else it stores?
