    Post Cache clean?

    I know Ubuntu builds caches, is there any way to get rid of them?

    You mean updates? Fire up a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type in
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean
    That will delete everything in your apt cache (Old installers so to say).

    Install bleachbit, this cleans all the unnecessary files in Ubuntu.

    "sudo apt-get install bleachbit"

    Then run it and click as many boxes as you can. Delete them. That should get rid of every cookie.

    Please mark the thread as solved. Also happy to help. Why did you want to clean the cache anyway?
