### Packages cache

I clear the package cache every now and then.

To see some statistics about packages and cache:

```auto
yay -Ps

```

Then to clear cache:

```auto
yay -Sc

```

### Logs

To see disk usage:

```auto
journalctl --disk-usage
Archived and active journals take up 667.8M in the file system.

```

And to delete part of logs (for example):

```auto
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)](https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat)
