Depends on  KDE 3.4.x
Downloads:  25571

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

This is an excellent program.

I would like to see several features added:
1. The ability to exclude specified directories
2. The ability to exclude specified file types
3. The ability to do the reverse of the above 1 and 2, ie. search only a specified directory or search for only ceratin file types.

Cheers.

Could you add support for finding files not installed by Portage?
You could maybe just incorporate some of scripts that are already made.

Yes, I want to add support for Gentoo, however my first trial was disappointing as I found out there was no (good) way to obtain the list of installed files. My first attempt was to use 'equery -C list -i' to obtain a list of packages and then for each package do 'equery -C files ' to obtain individual files. This was painfully slow. I need to take a look on how it is implemented in the tools you point me to. Is there anything close to 'rpm -qa' in Gentoo?

I have never used an rpm-based distro before, but if it means list all installed files, I don't think so.

But what you could do is parse all the "CONTENTS" files under /var/db/pkg/. That's what the other tools do, it contains everything the packages have installed.

what about

> fgrep -h obj /var/db/pkg///CONTENTS | sed -e 's/^obj\ $.$\ [0-9a-f]\ [0-9]*$/\1/g'

That will generate a long long list of portage handled files.
The only "dangerous" thing I can think of doing like this is filenames or paths with spaces.

Good luck

Have you considered to integrate your fantastic app in KDE instead of doing an individual app?

I mean: could be possible to integrate your app in the future Control Center? or better, could it appear in any way in system:/media when the user is exploring the devices?

I can imagine a Konquerro in system:/media with icons showing the free space (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=34629) and near an option called "free space" tthat open your app.

I'm no KDE-guru, but the KControl integration would mean making this into a KPart, which I don't think is too hard.

And integrating into Konqueror would only mean a tiny patch to the konqueror source (AFAIK).

Hi,

I think it would be great, if a saved report file can be reloaded again.
What do you think?

I don't think it's really needed... The main purpose of reports is to allow users to create a report before deleting anything, so they can consult their decisions with others easily.

Please add an option to backup all removed files in a tar.bz2 file. That would be great:)
