Delete temp files.
In windows one can use Disk clean up to delete temp files. How dose one do this in ubuntu?
|
What files are you taking about? Like your browser would store in the user path or the system /tmp?
|
I mean any temp files that linux leaves behind.
|
That isn't really a problem on Linux as /tmp is generally cleaned out. It has a lot better housekeeping than some other OSs than can be named.
When you download files from the repos, these are left in /var/cache/ Use 'sudo apt-get clean' to get rid of em. |
When you edit text files with gedit a backup is made with the file name of the original ended with a tilde "~". Normally nautilus doesn't show hidden files, those that start with "." and those that end with "~". If you ultimately delete a text file it's backup file isn't deleted. In nautilus you can use Ctrl-H to see hidden files in the current directory. Open a terminal window and do "ls *~" to see any backups in the working directory. "rm *~" will delete them. If you wish you can construct a bash script that will delete recursively.
