App like CCleaner?
 

I think it would be nice if there is an app like that for my N900!

Re: App like CCleaner?
 

and what should this app do exactly? ^^

not at the moment. maybE healthcheck app can do somthing about it we'll see.

There's no registry on the N900 (and thank goodness for that). The only thing a 'CCleaner' could do, I guess, is the 'removing unused files' part. But I'm not sure exactly what that would be. The application manager automatically removes any downloaded files after installation, and if you use apt-get install instead then you can just do 'apt-get clean' and that's taken care of. Whatever the browser caches can be removed by the browser itself IIRC, and what's left then?

In short, I don't see too much use for a 'CCleaner'..

i'll try! - looking for feeback on the healthcheck post - if there are requests i'll see what i can do :)

Maemo is linux... not windows. An app like ccleaner would not do much.

Re: App like CCleaner?
 

Thats not entirely true... It can still clean unwanted things, move things out of the way, just a different end target...

So clean up room in root ....
Search for unused packages etc....
Move fonts etc....
Ensure python is optified

thats just a start....

Dangerous, unless you know it can be removed.

Handled automatically via the Application Manager, and by the user if done via the console.

This shouldn't need to be checked by a 3rd party program.

Linux doesn't have the free-for-all layout and operational characteristics Windows has that lend to its accumulation of useless cruft.

There is Bleachbit which might be a possible candidate for porting.
