System ubuntu 20.10 development branch
Thanks man! Ubuntu 20.04
Worked very well for the multiple minimal install VMs I have for both 20.04 and 18.04! Thank you! 😄
Do be careful with every script you copy from the internet, and inspect the commands within until you understand what they're doing.
Thank you! I am new and I was lost space and didn't find how. This help me to do all the task I was reading about in one shot (sorry my english). Ubuntu 20.04.

Perhaps those packages are outdated and there's no need to maintain them on your machine, hence you've been prompted to allow deletion and make more space.
Excelente! TKS
thanks :)
Nice work
It worked on Ubuntu 18.04 on DigitalOcean, ty.
nice!
Ubuntu 18.04.4 works fine
Brilliant!!
Running with 18.04 LTS. I have apps like KiCAD and PyCharm on a 34GB root file-system. Down to 6GB left clean.sh found another 5GB to clean out to give me 11GB space left.
Thanks Iman!
It worked on Ubuntu 20.04. Nearly 20GB cleaned.
thumbs up
Great work @Iman!
Never thought the cleanup is super easy with this script.
All happened in a jiffy!
Skip the step
apt-get remove --purge -y software-properties-common
Otherwise some handy steps and commands for tidying out excessive logs thanks !
Cool! Thx!
Thanks a lot
Works well. Thanks
