Kleansweep allows you to reclaim disk space by finding unneeded files. it can search for files basing on several criterias; you can seek for:
- empty files
- empty directories
- backup files
- broken symbolic links
- broken executables (executables with missing libraries)
- dead menu entries (.desktop files pointing to non-existing executables)
- duplicated files
- orphaned files -- files not found in rpm (for rpm-based distros, e.g.
fedora core, suse) or dpkg (for dpkg based distros, e.g. debian and ubuntu)
database
- obsolete thumbnails (thumbnails conforming to freedesktop.org standard,
pointing to non-existing images)
