Depends on  KDE 3.4.x
Downloads:  25574
Submitted:  Sep 2 2005
Updated:  Jun 30 2010

Description:

KleanSweep allows you to reclaim disk space by finding unneeded files. It can search for files basing on several criterias; you can seek for:
* empty files
* empty directories
* backup files
* broken symbolic links
* broken executables
* dead menu entries (.desktop files pointing to non-existing executables)
* obsolete thumbnails (thumbnails of non-existing images)
* duplicated files
* orphaned files (files not found in RPM or DEB database).

Results for each criteria are shown in separate tab; files may appear on many tabs if they match many criterias - in this case they are "linked", so you have to mark (or unmark) file for deletion only once! Before actual deletion takes place, you're given an option to create backup archive.

Planned features:
* seeking for orphaned files in Slackware and Gentoo (portage) database
* and more!

KleanSweep consists of KDE-based (C++) graphical frontend and small helper Perl script that performs actual searching. All searches, except for orphaned files, duplicates and dead menu entries are as fast as usual 'find' would be.

This is initial release and may contain bugs. I take no responsibility for any damage caused by this program.

Note: it may compile/work in KDE < 3.4.x, but was only tested in 3.4.2.




Changelog:

* Removed "greedy match" button
* added Italian, German, Spanish and Portugaese translations

Have a look at the debian package 'cruft' before tackling debian/dpkg support, as it does a lot of that for you

Previously I had v.0.1.9. I have removed it. Now I try to install the new one - v.0.2.0. - under KDE 3.4.3 Level ¨b¨ and SuSE 9.3 Pro. But what I get is:

Make sure you have kdelibs-devel installed (I'm not sure if this is the exact package name for Suse). In Fedora:
# rpm -qf libkdeui.so
kdelibs-devel-3.4.3-1.0.fc4.kde

 Some useful ideas

 
 by vkhaitan on: Nov 2 2005

I have got some useful ideas about how to remove unneeded files.

1 .Check access time of files.

many packages on linux is installed by distribution, which the user even doesn't know and dont need. They can be identified by checking the access time of files. and then finding which packages own those files! Then remove those rpm packages.
I have got many MB free space just utilizing this method on /usr/lib with "find"

2. Show rpm packages without dependecny.

There are many rpm packages which are not required by any of the rpm. and many of them user have not installed intentionaly. Distributions install them in the hope that user would use them.
Then user can immediately identify those packages, which are not required by them. and because those rpms are not needed by any other rpm, then can remove them.

3. There are many many files in a rpm, which are absolutely never accessed at all. Only a few file are used by the system and rpm is installed for that tiny file in rpm.
for example, think, how many times any user uses the file in /usr/share/doc ?
There is a approach which can solve this trouble.
Replace all those files with a stub file. Then whenever those file, if ever, accessed, just give SIGSTOP signal to accessor process and then place that file back to there by extracting from the rpm.
this would require daemon running, which watches for file access (similar to FAM).

What you suggested in 1) sounds fine and I'm going to add it soon. The 2nd proposal is good too, but I don't want to add package management options. It deserves a separate utility similar to deborphan (who knows, maybe I'll create one ;)). The 3rd is really beyond of kleansweep. Thanks for ideas!

1) thanks for planning to add it.

2) unless you wanted to be vendor neutral, I dont think it requires separate utility.
looking over the feature
"* orphaned files (files not found in RPM database)."
you are not vendor neutral.
IMHO, deborphan like utility should actually be part of big program like this, because they both have exactly same purpose.
And second thing, adding this support shoul not be really so difficult.

3) this is the most difficult part to implement, but this would be really kickass, if you could do this., it may take much time in designing,planning, getting enough information about how to implement and actual implementation.
But, believe me, the space gained by all other methods would be only 20% than the space gained by this method!
So it worths the hassle. The goal of the project should be to remove every file not accesses within certain reasonable time period, without breaking system package management database.

there must be some command of SCons which install the program.

that command may be specified as command line option to checkinstal

You can easily create Slackware package without checkinstall by using DESTDIR variable - see INSTALL file. Then just tar+gzip the destination directory.

Thanks i did it with "makepkg" but it didn't handle the symlinks then there is no "install.sh" script.

It works now :)

I've tried running KleanSweep 3 times now. On each occasion it tells me there 1.9GB of files that can be deleted so I sected all under each tab and clicked next, it then makes 2 archives but nothing is actually deleted. What am I doing wrong?

 What the f...?

What the hell is this crap? At the fourth attempt it finally deleted something, almost every file in my etc directory, including xorg.conf, fstab and every other important file you can think of. I'm now left with empty directories with no files in them.
In fact the only files that were left were junk and old backup files that this app is supposed to remove.
I wouldn't say I'm an advanced user but I'm not stupid enough to mark files like xorg.conf for deletion. None of these important files were listed in the results of the scan and anything that I wasn't sure of I left unchecked.
If I hadn't cancelled KleanSweep when I noticed what files it was deleting it would no doubt have wiped my entire system, which it may as well have anyway.
Thank god I backed up the system before running this shit.
This is the ultimate virus.

Please stop spreading FUD. Your comment is worthless and contains no details that could help me in resolving the problem. Please stop using this software if you can't be creative in any way. I've received very positive feedback so far which helps me a lot and NO ONE reported such serious problem. I'm really open to suggestions which everyone who contacted me may confirm, but I'm really sick of hearing complains like this, which bring completly nothing to the author. Unfortunately every OSS project is facing people like you from time to time.

I explained that this program wiped my entire /etc directory, including files that weren't even listed for deletion let alone marked for deletion.
I don't know what other info to give but I'll try.
Installed no problems, I already had scons installed.
I ran it as sudo on ubuntu breezy. Checked to scan only for orphaned files, empty files and broken shortcuts. It came back with about 875 MB's of results which I went through and marked anything I knew was junk, anything I wasn't sure about I left unchecked.
As I said, things like xorg.conf and all the other important files weren't listed in the results so I just don't understand why it would touch anything else. Or are you only suppesed to check things you DON'T want deleted?

I must admit I did regret my last post and the fact that this program has a rating of 85% clearly shows that this isn't a virus or anything of the sort. I was just very upset and needed to vent off. Sorry.

Ok thanks, this sounds better and gives me some clues. Just one question - was it kleansweep 0.2.0? What bothers me is that you were using RPM orphaned files searching on Ubuntu; I know rpm can be installed anywhere but as it's not native on Ubuntu you will get virtually ALL files listed as orphans as they aren't registered in rpm database... Anyway, it should not happen the file got removed if it wasn't marked for removal - this could be a bug assuming it's not your oversight; I'll examine it. By the way, were these files (like xorg.conf) archived in the backup archive on removal?

OK, now I'm over my tantrum and being more objective.
It was version 0.2.0 I used.
Since I had no problems restoring from my backup, I tried running KleanSweep again.
This time I set it to only scan for broken shortcuts and empty files and there were no problems.
I tried it again just scanning for orphan rpm files and once again it deleted almost every file in the /etc directory before I stopped it and they still weren't listed in the scan results.
So you thought right about that being the problem and all the files like xorg.conf, etc were archived in the backup.
I chose to scan for the orphan rpm's the first time round because I have used alien to convert quite a few rpm's so I though it would maybe get rid of any junk left behind by them. I just didn't think it would be a problem.

I have also now tried KleanSweep on Fedora Core 4 and had no problems there.

Once again I feel I must grovel and apologise for my other post. Like I said, I was just venting off but it must be disheartening to spend time working on a program and give it away for free only to get that sort of comment.
I feel very ashamed.

That's ok, I can understand your anger after your files were lost. Thanks for giving kleansweep a second try despite that. Unfortunately I can't reproduce / find the problem you described. If you are still willing to help, you may help me with debugging the problem by compiling kleansweep-0.2.1 with debug enabled and sending me the debug ouput. Compile it by typing:
# scons configure debug=1
then install & run it this way:
# kleansweep > kleansweep.log 2>&1
and try to recreate the scenario you described BUT DO NOT
proceed with files removal (or if you want to try it anyway, backup your system first). Then send me the kleansweep.log. Hopefully this can give me more clues. Anyone having problems with kleansweep, please use this procedure too.

Do you like or dislike Ubuntu Unity?
 Yes, unity is alien technology!
 It is less confusing than Gnome 3 default, shell.
 Granny thinks it is much more usable than Gnome 2
 Canonical is embarrasing itself with this split project
 Gnome 3 default shell is much better
 I dislike Unity, Gnome 3 default shell is alien technology!
 None of the above, I like the 2Gb for free and Apple alike behavior. Will post a comment instead
