Cleanup Scripts
The Cleanup Scripts in Linux Tools are designed to safely remove unnecessary files, packages, and caches from your Linux system without breaking anything important.
- Free up disk space by removing unneeded system files and packages.
- Keep the system optimized without risking essential components.
- Provide optional deep-clean modes for advanced users.
File: universal_cleanup.sh
- Works on Fedora/RHEL, Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, and openSUSE.
- Detects your package manager and removes:
- Orphaned/unneeded packages
- Old package caches
- Unused Flatpak runtimes and apps
- Disabled Snap revisions
- Old logs and journal files
- User thumbnails and trash
- Development caches (pip, npm, yarn, cargo)
- Optional cleaning:
- Steam shader and GPU caches
- Unused Docker images, containers, and volumes
- Skips already clean areas for faster runs.
- Logs every action for review.

- Designed to be safe by default — no destructive actions unless specifically enabled with flags.
- Can be re-run periodically to maintain a clean system.
