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

 Duplicate file finde

 
 by themer on: Apr 1 2008  
themerthemer

I LOVE this tool, especially the duplicate file finder, but I noticed one way it could be improved:

When it finds duplicate files, it shows them all. Let's say there are 4 files that are duplicates. Hitting "Select all" and next would remove them ALL, not just the 3 duplicates. I think there should be a button that would select everything in the list under each "parent" file detected. This would allow users to easily hit it and continue, removing the 3 duplicates but leaving ONE of them in place. This would remove the duplicates, but not result in any data loss!

It is only human to err, but to really screw up, you need [strike]a computer[/strike] Windows!

I should have included this before, but this is a visual representation of what I am thinking.

(170 Kb, tar.bz compressed archive)
contents: 4 images, "png" filetype

 Recovery opportunity needed

 
 by Lektorvis on: Aug 13 2008  
LektorvisLektorvis

Hey

I'm only an ordinary Linux user, who don't know must about systemfiles etc. So I made some mistake and is now unable to start Ubuntu properly. I only reach the Linux systempromt.
Before execute the cleanproces - I made a backup of the deleted files and I'm able to list the backup file. But I'm to inexperienced to do anything with it.
Hence some sort of automatic recovery opportunity would by really nice -

Ps: do somebody know which code I should type to unpack the backup file, and place the files in their original directories?

I would be very great full if you can help.

The backup file is a plain .tar.gz archive. You can unpack it with 'tar -xzf backup.tar.gz'.

Thanks for suggestion about 'restore' functionality in KleanSweep. I'm going to make it easier, probably by creating self-extracting archives (if requested by user).

I tried to use 'tar -xzf backup.tar.gz' to restore my backup files and got...

tar: backup.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I don't like self-extracting archives. I prefer having extraction handled by archive software I trust, and whose behaviour I understand. e.g. by using
tar xkf ...
I know I won't replace existing files.

If you want to make it easier to beginners, make an undo-cleanup option in the GUI. You could just prompt the user for the file to restore from, if you don't want to get all fancy with keeping track of which file was created by which cleanup action to provide more kleanup-specific metadata for the restore files.

Hi,

does kleansweep delete cache files ?
If not, can you add a checkbox and the script to delete all browser cache files, cookies, ... (for all present cache : opera, konqueror, ...).

If you do something for slackware can you please also do it for SLAX (this SLAX distro is based on a SLACKWARE and is really easy to install on USB to test). www.slax.org

Thanks for your work and have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

 not good with large dups

 
 by pcordes on: May 2 2009  
pcordespcordes

kleansweep spends a ton of CPU time updating the GUI while loading the dup list. While actually deleting the dups, it keeps Xorg at > 80% CPU usage (on my C2Duo desktop, g965 graphics, Ubuntu Jaunty). It looks like it redraws the whole window every for every file it deletes! Not good! It keeps Xorg busy even when the window is minimized. (I'm running fluxbox; I don't know if kwin can tell kde apps that they don't need to actually draw when they're minimized...) The not-drawing-when-minimized optimization should probably be in Qt or KDE, not in individual apps, though.

BTW, I'm using it to compare sets of files recovered with different methods from a half-lost filesystem. I've mostly had to hack stuff together in Perl, because I haven't found anything that lets you essentially subtract files found in other directories from files in one given directory. i.e. for a given directory, keep only stuff that isn't a duplicate of something outside that directory. I want to subtract sets of files.

I've done some stuff with perl parsing the output saved by fslint-gui, but it's a pain.

hmm, I just found komparator. It might do what I want...

forgot to mention: the total duplicated size looks like it suffers from signed 32bit overflow. Use long long, int64_t, or off_t with
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
