Question #76599 on synaptic in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+question/76599
pablitofuerte proposed the following answer:
Open a Terminal (Applications - Accesories - Terminal) and run (copy&paste +
Enter)....
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
With this you will remove all files in /var/cache/apt/archives/
I really would recommend you to install Bleachbit for deeper cleanning
tasks (thumbnails, etc). To install it:
sudo aptitude install bleachbit
You will find it in Applications - System Tools - Bleachbit
If you prefer to do it with the commandline, you can clean ...
TRASH - Recycle bin
rm -rf /home/*/.local/share/Trash/*/*
rm -rf /home/.Trash-0/*/*
THUMBNAILS (probably you will earn a lot of space)
rm -rf /home/*/.thumbnails/*/*
OLD KERNELS (do it with Synaptic best and leave the last 2 of them)
Hope that helps
