jsLinuxCleanup

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• Finds archived log files, downloaded installation files, crash reports, superseded app versions, thumbnails and other caches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.
