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?

    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
