Not sure it is available or not in Angstrom but with Debian you just use "*dpkg -l"* That a lower case L ( el ). Then I'll assume you could do *opkg remove package_name(s)*
I might add, if you're having difficulties learning, because the lack of Angstrom documentation is hindering you, I might suggest you move to a Debian image. With Debian you can literally google "Debian howto xyz", and find tons of information. This is why I made teh switch with my own A5A last may or so.
