search for junk files similar to windows or is there REALY nothing to clean in ubuntu 11.04? thanks for helping!

A person can go to the terminal and type the command

[cpp]sudo apt-get autoremove[/cpp],

If it returns nothing (saying no files will be removed), it can said the system is free of "junk files."Otherwise, it will tell which files were downloaded to satisfy dependencies and are no longer needed.

Welcome to linux, where the true power of the lies in the command line!
