Default [Q] How to restore non-rom storage to stock?

So I successfully restored my Vibrant with the shipping rom and it worked great. However, I still have a lot of files left over from applications that were installed. So, what is the best way to get the internal sd area cleaned back to stock? I am not sure enough of which files I can manually delete and which I shouldn't. Is there an "uninstall" program that will remove "orphaned" files etc? An un-installer that would also allow removing of the stock apps would be nice.

Thanks

Just goto settings> sd and phone storage> unmount internal sd storage> then format... That should do it.

So none of those files are "needed" by the stock rom? So you can completly erase all of the data on itand start over with installing apps?

well it will format the sdcard which means you will loose avitar movie and anything else on /sdcard and /sdcard/sd. But you answer is yes, non of those files are needed for the rom.
