Linux Cleaner is a Python utility designed to make routine Linux maintenance easier by bringing common cleanup tasks together in a simple interface.
It helps users free storage space by running built-in commands for clearing different kinds of system data and package-related cache, so they do not need to remember and type each cleanup command manually.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Offers both a graphical interface and a command-line mode.
- Can clean journal logs older than 7 days.
- Can remove files from
/var/crash/, the user cache directory, and the Trash directory. - Can rebuild the font cache with
fc-cache -r. - Supports cleaning package manager cache for APT, Pacman, DNF, and Zypper.
- Can remove unused Flatpak packages.
- Lets users choose individual cleanup actions from the GUI instead of only running a full cleanup.
