SnappyCleaner — A comprehensive system cleanup and maintenance utility for Mageia Linux.

The utility automatically performs the following actions:

Kernel Management: Deletes inactive kernels to free up boot space.
System Cleanup:
- Removes temporary root and user files.
- Empties the user trash bin.
- Clears recent documents history.
- Wipes bash history for all system users.
- Deletes thumbnail cache (~/.cache/thumbnails/large/*).
Package Manager Maintenance:
- Flushes directory caches for both URPMI and DNF5.
- Repairs and rebuilds the RPM database.
Browser Cache Cleaning: Clears caches for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Chromium, PaleMoon, and Brave.
Orphaned Packages (Optional): Searches for and removes orphaned packages (including arbitrary package orphans).

[!IMPORTANT] SnappyCleaner requires root privileges to perform most cleanup tasks.

After installation, you can launch SnappyCleaner in two ways:

GUI: Find it in the Utilities → System desktop menu.
CLI: Run the scleaner command from a normal user terminal (it will prompt for root privileges).

To run a quick cleanup without touching kernels or orphaned packages, use the auto flag:

bash

scleaner --auto
