My BBB's eMMC is apparently filled with useless junk after 2+ years of playing around with Ubuntu, Debian, Angstrom, Daphile, RuneAudio, JRiver etc etc etc. I tried to go back to the latest Debian image and reinstall JRiver Media Center but I'm getting multiple "no more room on device" error messages. I know how to restore the defaults but I can't find any info on a complete reset that removes all files and data except the original content of the eMMC. I did have JRMC running fine last year, but like an idiot I decided to try Ubuntu and it's never been the same. I'm running MPD until I can fix this.
Thanks. I'm happy with the currently released image - I don't want or need to go back to the original OS version. But just reflashing the eMMC doesn't seem to clear out all the cobwebs, as there's clearly less memory now than there was when I got it. I need to restore the free space that was on the eMMC originally. I was able to install JRiver Media Center on Debian and Ubuntu without difficulty a few times before. But this time, I get many "cannot write to file - no room on device" messages, and the install fails. Using clean, remove and autoremove do not seem to help.
There seem to be many files in many folders in many directories that weren't there when it was brand new. If flashing the eMMC is supposed to delete everything, it's not - so maybe my 'bone is broken. I've properly reformatted each uSD card I use before burning , so there's never anything on the card except the image I want to use. Is there any way to reformat the entire eMMC? I hesitate to delete things when I don't know what they are - is there a list of the core files I need to preserve so it will still reflash from a card?
That answers one big question - thanks! Then there must be something wrong with my 'bone, because it's not removing everything now when I reflash. I didn't have this problem through multiple installations and reinstallations of JRiver and other similarly sized packages, so something has changed. If I can't figure out what it is and fix it, I'll just have to buy a new board to use as a JRiver zone.
Thanks & best regards-
David

On Debian 8 and later, this usually means that you do not have the "boot bit" set on the card.

Thanks William. So I just want to make sure... all I need to do is flash the eMMC with Debian Jessie 8.4. Once I do that, it should boot up and automatically run my Softether VPN server located on the uSD card?
Yes?
Thanks...Arnie
