Hey guys its me again ):P

Everything is setup with all the eye candy etc ... :popcorn:

But ..

How do you clean your system up?

I use "sudo apt-get autoclean"

Is there anything else?

Cheers Brucey

Well I guess that all depends. What do you mean by cleaning up exactly? What do you want to clean or get rid of?

Clean up as in an equivalent to defrag etc in windows ...

There is really no need, or equivalent to defragging for a Linux installation. The file system checks that occurs every 30 or so times you boot up your computer will take care of any inconsistencies that may arise.

Apart from that, the only cleaning up I can think of is getting rid of hidden directories in your home folder that are left overs from uninstalled applications. You can access hidden folders by pressing "control h".
