apt-get purge package-nameremove will delete the package, but will retain the configuration file. purge will delete both the package and the configuration file.

Find out which packages on the system have left the residual configuration files

dpkg --list | grep '^rc'

The rc in the first column means that the package has been deleted (Remove), but the configuration file (Config-file) is still there. Now extract the names of these packages.

dpkg --list | grep '^rc' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 Delete these packages

dpkg --list | grep '^rc' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge If you only want to delete the configuration file of a certain software package, you can use the following command

Delete useless deb software installation package

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoclean

Delete orphan packages

Sometimes, when you install a software package with apt-get, other dependencies will be automatically installed. When you delete this package, these dependencies are useless. These useless dependency packages are called orphan software packages, which can be deleted using the following command

apt-get autoremove

Clean log files

The log file will become larger and larger, and we can use the ncdu tool to view large log files.

sudo ncdu /var/log

Of course, using ncdu tool can easily complete the inspection of large files.
