TERMS OF SERVICE

Read this before a real run.

linux-cleanup is free software under the MIT License. These terms cover the CLI, this website and the limits of what the tool can promise.

LAST UPDATED 13 NOVEMBER 2026APPLIES TO CLI 2.0.0 AND THIS WEBSITE

The licence

You may use, copy, change and share linux-cleanup under the MIT License (opens in a new tab). Where these terms and the licence differ about the software, the licence applies.

Removal is permanent

There is no undo. A real cleanup deletes the selected files. They do not go to Trash, and no backup is made.

--scan and --dry-run do not delete files. Use them first, and read the paths they list.

Your part

  • Run it only on machines you are allowed to change.
  • Keep backups of anything you cannot lose.
  • Read the paths before you confirm a run, especially in system mode, which uses apt and dpkg with sudo.

No warranty

The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost data, lost space estimates that turn out wrong, or other damage from using it. The MIT License states this in full.

This website

The pages explain the tool and link to its source and npm package. Its words and design may not be copied as your own product’s site. Our Privacy Policy explains what the site and the CLI record.
