Comandos de limpieza (A travs de la Terminal)

Cada vez que instalas desde Synaptic o actualizas tu Ubuntu, los paquetes que descargas de Internet quedan en /var/cache/apt/archives. Si no los borras, acumulan espacio que puede ser bastante til. Si los quieres borrar completamente escribe sudo apt-get clean Muchos programas que instalamos utilizan dependencias adicionales que descargan, y que muchas veces son intiles. Lo peor de todo es que cuando desinstalas a veces se quedan ocupando espacio. Para saber cales son y poder borrarlas tipea sudo apt-get autoremove Cada vez que actualizamos nuestro Kernel, el antiguo queda ah, y no se desinstala. Si queremos borrarlo, podemos hacerlo con sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-versin a desinstalar-generic. Si no sabemos cul es la que queremos desinstalar, podemos listarlas con dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image Existen dos programas muy buenos para mantener ubuntu limpito:

a) Bleachbit: Permite borrar basurilla no solo de ubuntu sino tambin de los buscadores, Openoffice, Gimp, etc b) Ubuntu Tweak: Hace muchas cosas pero entre ellas han agregado una opcin de limpieza
