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

baby-sinclai re

very good work. The 1th Cleaning up Programm for Linux i ever saw, but is it possible to add a "Blacklist" for files and directorys which can be defined by the user. e. g. Kleansweep wants always clean up the tmp and some other directorys from Kmail because the are empty but when you do that Kmail did not start. With a Blacklist the user could "teach" Kleansweep not to erase the wrong files.

Have nice Day

In 0.2.8 that's possible, under the Settings button of the second page you'll see in the wizard.

I couldn't believe what happened after cleaning my system (~15.000 dead symlinks/zero byte files/...).

It was as fast as it has never been before.
It's a Gentoo running since more than 4 years without any re-installation and I always thought dead files couldn't have any impact on my system performance, but now, im enlightened ;-)

Thank you for this great tool... I hope it get's Portage support integrated soon.

To reduce false positives under the Duplicate file tab, wouldn't it be better to compare MD5sums before listing it?

False positives are not possible, because KleanSweep compares file contents (not just sizes or names -- in fact, name is not taken into account at all). The only possible way to fool KleanSweep is to change file contents after scanning is finished (files are not compared again on removal).

If you observered anything else, then either: file content has changed after scanning was finished or you found a bug (in that case please provide more information).

Hy.
Kleansweep is quite nice already, but the Remove duplicate file has a BIG issue :
When clicking "select all", it realy select every file, so you erase the original and the copy ! Thanks to the warning message, I avoid this catastrophe, but when you have 1,234 duplicates, you will spend a few hours selecting every file in the list.

I beleive the tool should search for every directory containing this files, then, group duplicated files in duplicated directories showing the compleate path, and the, you can choose to delete a directory ( in my case, it's albums of music and fotos which are duplicated, so il whill divide the number of clics by 5~10 ).
It may also be possible to erase the file whitch is the uper or downer in the file system ( for instance, delete /home/x/photo/double.png and not /home/x/photo/november2006/1st/double.png)

Kollum, Sauron wouldn't have failed if It had used linux.

If a GTK solution is amenable, have a look at:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/

It allows you to select all but the "first", "oldest", "newest" in each group.

Hi, thanks for suggestion. The current behavior of "Select All" on Duplicated files page is definately a problem. I'm going to improve this page in the next release so that removing all files by accident will be impossible/harder. Unfortunately the idea with grouping duplicated files in duplicated directories is hard to implement and therefore I'm not going to do that any time soon. However, I'm going to change this page a bit, so that files are grouped in "virtual" directories with names indicating their number, size and possibly content, e.g.
+[5 mp3 files, 15kB each]
+[2 text files, 1kB each]

Hi,

I verify if all is wel installed with my adept (under kubuntu) package installtion tool.

Scons, Python, Perl and all the needed program are well installed.

But when I do the first command : scons, I receive this error message :

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Checking for kde-config : kde-config was found as /usr/bin/kde-config

Checking for kde version : 3.5.5

Checking for the qt library : qt was not found

Please set QTDIR first (/usr/lib/qt3?) or try scons -h for more options

I verify and saw that qt3 is well installed. So what happend under my kubuntu 6.10

What must I do ?

Have a nice days,

Miguipda ;-)
