from a Raspian Buster (Debian 10)

After burning a new SD card one finds quite a huge, already installed software package. To get more space on the SD card one can remove all unloved and unused packages. For example these:

 $ sudo apt update
 $ sudo apt remove --purge claws-mail minecraft libreoffice-core wolfram-engine
 $ sudo apt autoremove

That will save around 2 GB of space.
