2025-01-12 Disk space

It's that time of the year again. How to get back disk space?

Open the Files application and empty the trash. (How to do this from the command line?)

Delete the cache for Debian packages:

sudo apt-get clean

Check out local caches:

ncdu .cache/

Python stuff:

pip cache purge

Also, feel free to delete other stuff in there. I just deleted a "whisper" directory containing a language model I didn't need and a "tracker3" directory containing data for the Gnome miner, I think. Also "chromium" because it's not my main browser. I don't care about its cache.

Perlbrew stuff. Find out what Perls you have installed.

perlbrew list

You aren't going to need them:

perlbrew uninstall perl-5.30.0
perlbrew uninstall perl-5.32.0

Go build cache:

go clean -cache
