'cruft' for CentOS 7


is there a util like (Debian) 'cruft' for CentOS?
it examines all installed packages, and outputs list of extra/surplus/garbage files that probably shouldn't be there.
thanks.

It looks as if yum list will do what you want.

The "list option" has many different variations. This article names a few of the most commonly used ones: https://www.electrictoolbox.com/yum-...lled-packages/

See man yum-->List Options for more.
