[SOLVED] clear unnecessary systemfiles eating up my drive space
I dont have a HDD so i run ubuntu from a 2GB pen drive. in that 2 GB pen drive i have made 2 partitions of 1.04 GB & 850MB. The 1.04 GB is used by me as my booting space while i store files in my 850MB.
now i have installed video & audio codecs in it also. i have also included in it CHM viewer
the problem that is standing for me is when ubuntu boots up it is eating up 2 MB of space each time due to which after 20 or 30 boots the boot process becomes very slow & i have to reinstall the OS & everything all over again. now i have to clear this space taken up by unnecessary file.
how do i do it??
only terminal commands are invited.

Execute this to clean cache :
Execute this to remove log messages :Code:sudo apt-get clean all
Code:cd /var/log sudo rm -f messages.*
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
