Clean the cache and manteniance

[napcok]

pacman cache

paccache command is part of pacman-contrib package. Install it if you like.

Or use yay to manage packages cache…

# to see some statistics
yay -Ps
# to clear packages cache
yay -Sc

~/.cache directory

Usually, it contains files needed by some programs to operate faster, like web browser cache. I would recommend Qdirstat to investigate what is inside and eventually delete some files from here (At your own risk).

Openbox good companions - lesser known apps

A new and improved version of QDirstat (1.9) is available from Mabox repo. QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up. I use it sometimes and it is very useful. Installation: yay -S qdirstat

/tmp directory

is used to store the data used by the system and user applications to store the data that are needed for a short period of time.

It is managed by the system and cleared after each reboot.
Better do not touch by yourself

How do you clean up the system?

Packages cache I clear the package cache every now and then. To see some statistics about packages and cache: yay -Ps Then to clear cache: yay -Sc Logs To see disk usage: journalctl --disk-usage Archived and active journals take up 667.8M in the file system. And to delete part of logs (for example): journalctl --vacuum-size=200M Home directory Also I use qdirstat to see statistics and clean my home directory → https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat
