Clean Ubuntu System

After using Ubuntu for a long time, chances are you'll end up with junks in your system. By junk I mean packages you installed but no longer in use and temporary/cache files.

I usually use two program time and again to clean my system. They are bleachbit and computer-janitor

Bleachbit



Bleachbit is similart to ccleaner in Windows. It removes your temporary files and cache files. For eg: your browser history, cookies, temporary files and your bash history and so on.

Computer-janitor



Computer-janitor removes the old unused package. Be careful with this, it will also mark software installed from other source for removal.
