#### Free up disk space and see what is installed

Shows what is quietly filling your disk, and what is installed on your
machine — including when you last used it.

What it does:

* Finds archived log files, downloaded installation files, crash reports,
  superseded app versions, thumbnails and other caches
* Finds what programs you removed long ago left behind in your own folders
* Rates every entry Safe, Caution or Careful, and says why
* Lists everything installed — system packages, Snaps and Flatpaks — sortable
  by size, install date and when you last used it
* Shows your programs separately from the parts of the system, so you are
  not looking at four thousand entries
* Shows which programs start automatically when you log in
* Shows your scheduled jobs in plain language, and helps you add one
* Tells you which updates are waiting
* Refuses anything that would break the system, and explains what would go
* Deletes only what you ticked, after a confirmation that says it is final
* Available in 44 languages
* Light and dark theme

▶ ONE-TIME SETUP

sudo sh -c 'for i in system-backup log-observe; do snap connect jslinuxcleanup:$i; done'

A confined app cannot see the rest of the system until you allow it. No
reboot — just restart the app.

▶ WHAT THIS SNAP CANNOT DO

A Snap is not permitted to remove packages, change system files, edit
scheduled jobs or install updates. It shows all of it and, wherever it has to
decline, offers you the exact command to run in a terminal instead. For the
full set, use the .deb or RPM version from www.budbrain.de.

▶ PLEASE NOTE

Deleting here is final. There is no trip through the wastebasket and nothing
can be brought back — not a cache, not a log, not a folder left behind by a
program you removed years ago. Nothing is preselected: you tick every item
yourself, each one is rated Safe, Caution or Careful, and the confirmation
names what goes and how much it frees before anything happens. Please look at
what you have picked before you confirm, and keep a backup of anything you
could not make again. The software is provided "as is", without warranty of
any kind, and is used at your own risk.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install jsLinuxCleanup

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
