# 🧹 Fedorable: Fedora Cleaning Script
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[](https://getfedora.org/)
Fedorable is a command-line utility designed to maintain and optimize your Fedora Linux system. It automates common cleanup tasks to keep your Fedora installation efficient and well-maintained.
## ✨ Features
- **DNF5 Integration**: Utilizes the full capabilities of DNF5
- **Comprehensive Cleaning**: Manages package caches, old kernels, and more
- **System Safety**: Implements non-destructive operations with clear feedback
- **Performance Optimization**: Improves system efficiency through targeted cleanup tasks
## 🧼 Cleanup Tasks
Fedorable performs the following cleanup operations:
1. **Package List Update**: Refreshes the list of available packages.
2. **Unused Package Removal**: Removes packages that were automatically installed as dependencies but are no longer required.
3. **DNF Cache Cleaning**: Clears the DNF cache to free up disk space.
4. **Old Kernel Removal**: Removes old kernel versions, keeping only the current and one previous version.
5. **User Cache Cleaning**: Clears user-specific cache files from `/home/*/.cache/`.
6. **System Journal Cleanup**: Removes old systemd journal logs.
7. **Temporary File Removal**: Clears temporary files from `/tmp/`.
8. **Orphaned Package Removal**: Removes packages that are no longer part of any repository.
