@Rubi1200: Thanks for your reply. I am aware of these Linux apt commands to clean up my system. These commands & others are part of a bash script I run every time my system is updated with a new Linux kernel. I reboot my machine and run the bash script. That way, all old kernel(s) are removed, save the current (latest) and one prior. I believe these commands also remove downloaded, installed and/or unsed packages. I use tools like these just to be doubly sure that my system is clean.
I prefer to also use a tool like BleachBit at the end of each calendar month. These tools may not do anything more than what built-in Linux commands do. I do realize that these might be redundant. I used it with UL22.04 and now this is just a force of habit.

Done.
@Norm24: I am familiar with BleachBit and the above commands solved my problem. Thanks for the reply.
