Linux Soft Cleaner

A small, safe disk cleanup tool for Linux servers

BetaRustMIT

About

A command line tool that frees disk space on Linux servers. It removes old files in /tmp, APT, DNF, YUM and Pacman package caches, and rotated logs under /var/log. It can also clean the Docker and NPM caches on request. Run it with --dry-run first to see what would be deleted. The project is in beta and has no automated tests yet.

Features

Cleans old files in /tmp by an age threshold (--days, default 7)

docker system prune with --docker, ~/.npm/_cacache cleanup with --npm
