Hello,

How do you clean up the system? And do you at all?

Thanks.

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 → GitHub - shundhammer/qdirstat: QDirStat - Qt-based directory statistics (KDirStat without any KDE - from the original KDirStat author)
