On a Chromebook running Debian, you can free up disk space used by doing the following #385
Description
On a Chromebook running Debian, you can free up disk space used by doing the following:
Clear APT cache: The APT (Advanced Package Tool) cache can take up a significant amount of disk space over time. You can clear it by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get clean
Remove old packages: APT keeps older versions of packages that are installed on the system. You can remove them by running the following command:
sudo apt-get autoremove
Remove orphaned packages: Orphaned packages are packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required by any other package. You can remove them using the following command:
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
Remove logs: Log files can also take up a significant amount of disk space. You can remove them by running the following command:
sudo find /var/log -type f -delete
Remove core dumps: Core dumps are files created when a program crashes and can take up a large amount of disk space. You can remove them by running the following command:
sudo find /var/crash -type f -delete
- These steps should help you free up some disk space on your Chromebook running Debian. It's always a good idea to regularly check and clean up your disk space to keep your system running smoothly.
