The place taken by flathub/flatpak repo (/var/lib/flatpak/repo) is insane, this issue is known.

I already uninstalled applications unused or replaced by snap repo equivalent when they exist. Unfortunately it did not clean as much as I wished.

While using the command flatpak list --show-details it shows some lines with comment about deprecation:

So how can I be sure to uninstall those without compromising the stability of other elements ?

@user535733 Now that I look more closely, I think you're right. Thanks for catching that.

@user535733 Checking dependencies is a flatpak's shell command ?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
