Just wanted to ask is there any program in Kubuntu to clean up unneeded files, defragmen disks? Once tried to use Clean and Sweep and checked to erase Empty directories and files also orphaned files and broken files and links and there was a disaster. The system was totaly f... up. Had to nstall again and lost alsmost all data. Something safer maybe.

Re: Anything like defragmentation or similar in Linux (Kubuntu)
There's a very long thread on Ubuntu Forum, somewhere, on the subject of defrag. Basically, you don't need to worry about it for a very long time, with an ext3 filesystem.
As far as cleaning up the sawdust, if you reviewyou will find that the options "clean", "autoclean" and "autoremove" should keep the package cache and applicable filesystem regions pretty clean.Code:man apt-get

A good resource is to install the apt-howto.txWingManComment

You may also want to look at the cruft package
As for defragging, you have a journal in your filesystem, no real need to defrag, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_systemFind any cruft built up on your system
cruft is a program to look over your system for anything that shouldn't
be there, but is; or for anything that should be there, but isn't.
It bases most of its results on dpkg's database, as well as a list of
`extra files' that can appear during the lifetime of various packages.
cruft is still in pre-release; your assistance in improving its accuracy
and performance is appreciated.Comment

Found it. Read this and you'll learn a lot, especially if you start at the end and work back toward the beginning:
