I’ve installed debian on an old laptop and am wondering if the 10 gig base system size can be slimmed down by deleting unneeded files.
I ran the commands to look for any runaway logs or other obviously large files and nothing popped out.
Is there a group of folders full of stuff I don’t need or is this just the size of modern distros?
Things in this vein were exactly what i was looking for wwhen i made the post. thanks. Freed up almost a gig.
deborphan was removed from development, but if you are using current stable you still can use it. It’s awesome. It identifies packages installed but probably not needed.
apt install deborphan
