# BRIEF: Quick and dirty script to clear disk space (log files, apt cache, etc).
#     This is most useful if creating a machine template or preparing for backups.
# USAGE: Put this file in /usr/local/bin/cleanup.sh or wherever you prefer is ok.
#     Make sure to chmod +x and make it executable. Run from command line at will,
#     or call from a pre-backup script.
# SETTINGS:
