try: http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:fink_cleanup

--sources, --srcs
Delete sources (tarballs, etc.) that are not used by any package
description (.info) file in the currently-active trees.

The symlinks don't take any room to speak of. The binaries in your
unstable tree could be cleaned up with this option:
--debs
Delete .deb files (compiled binary package archives) corresponding
to versions of packages that are neither described by a package
description (.info) file in the currently-active trees nor presently
installed.

If you read the text, you'll see that it only removes packages that are
not mentioned in your active trees (in other words, it's not sufficient
that they're not installed--although that is also a prerequisite).
