Debian / Ubuntu Linux: Clear the Package Cache

To clear the package cache on Debian or Ubuntu Linux, you can use the apt-get package manager. Here are the steps:

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Update the package list by running the following command:
    sudo apt-get update
  3. Clear the package cache by running the following command:
    sudo apt-get clean

    This command will remove all downloaded packages from the package cache.

  4. (Optional) Remove any unused packages by running the following command:
    sudo apt-get autoclean

    This command will remove packages that have not been used in a while from the cache.

That’s it! The package cache has now been cleared on your Debian or Ubuntu Linux system.
