After installation or uninstallation of software, I am quite sure there
are unwanted files and orphaned dependencies lying around.
How do I do a spring cleaning of my OS?
Try the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
This command will search and remove packages and his configuration with no
dependencies. But maybe you like/ need the package
$ deborphan
Prints (default option) a list of libraries which are unused. You can
remove these packages with
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge `deborphan`
(deborphan can also search for programs that are orphaned, but I will get
a lot of false positives)
$ cruft
Cruft search for files on your system which doesn't belong to a package.
It is up to you to decide if you need these files or not.
