clean up utility

[beelzebufo]

I need a good clean up utility for ubuntu, I have sweeper, but that doesn't seem to really do much, you guys know of any others?

[ubuntu27]

You could also try BleachBit (http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/). It is in the repositories:

sudo apt-get install bleachbit (apt://bleachbit)

I normally use "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoclean", and occasionally run "sudo apt-get autoremove"

Other than removing /temp files,standard package removal and downloaded installed packages from cache there is not much to clean up in Linux. Windows gives you the mindset that crude builds up after awhile and slows things down or errors, not so in Linux.

I installed bleach bit... how do I use it? it installed, told me what it does, but now I can't find it anywhere, this isn't the first time I have had a hard time simply running programs on ubuntu... I am a bit dumb when it comes to linux, it seems like there is always some huge complicated process to run anything

Hmm, the 'rm -Rf' command is pretty good too.

yes the "menu" concept can be slightly overwhelming.:p

Pretty good in messing things up if you don't know what you are doing.....

So.. Don't use it, certainly not with sudo if you don't really know what you are doing (you can delete your whole "home" or worse your whole system with a bit of bad luck)
