Isn't this what apt purge appname does ? or is something missing
Form the apt-get docs:
purge - purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too).
- _ikke_ 7y agoThat would only purge config files that came with the package (which would live in /etc/). Config files in the homedir of a user are not managed by apt.
- simion314 7y agoThanks, I was wrong, not sure why I believed that it worked. so in the end Linux needs a CCleaner tool like Windows, it should also contain a browser cache cleaner, I sometimes find a few Gb of space in Chromium localstorage/cache and have to hunt them down and delete manually.
