**Linux Ram Cleaner**
====================
A simple yet effective script to clean up your Linux system's RAM and free up some valuable resources.
**Description**
---------------
Are you tired of running out of memory on your Linux machine? Do you wish there was an easy way to clear out unused data and get back some much-needed space? Well, wish no more! I built this script, **Linux Ram Cleaner**, to do just that. With a few simple commands, it'll clean up your RAM, freeing up resources for your next big project.
**Features**
------------
* **Clear PageCache only**: Quickly free up memory by clearing out unused page cache.
* **Clear dentries and inodes**: Go the extra mile and remove unnecessary directory entries and inode caches too!
* **Clear PageCache, dentries, and inodes**: Why not do it all? This option is perfect for when you need to make some serious space on your system.
One cool feature is... (you guessed it!) **the swapoff trick**. By temporarily disabling and re-enabling swap, we can even clean up swap memory!
I'm thinking about adding a GUI interface for the script. Stay tuned!
**Installation**
---------------
1. Clone this repository using `git clone`.
2. Run `chmod +x memory_cleanup.sh` to make the script executable.
3. Move the script to your desired location (e.g., `/usr/local/bin`) and update the path in your `.bashrc` or equivalent.
**Usage**
----------
1. Simply run `./memory_cleanup.sh` from the terminal.
2. Follow the prompts to select which memory types you'd like to clear.
3. Enjoy your newfound free RAM!
