Howdy, It was mentioned a while ago in a thread that running perl-cleaner --reallyall on occasion is a good idea. It makes sure everything is stable. So, it hit me, I haven't ran it in a while, month or so. When I did, it re-emerged a lot of packages like it usually does. Then it listed a large list of leftover files. If it were just a few, I'd use equery and such to see what belonged to what and if it was safe to remove them. Thing is, it is quite a long list. It could take me days to check each one. I found a old thread that talked about a delete option. I check the man page, that option is no longer listed so I guess it is no longer available.
So, what is the correct way to deal with these and be safe? Obviously I don't want to remove something the system needs. I also don't want a growing list of files that are no longer needed hanging around either. While at it, is there a way to remove any files that doesn't belong to a package? A system wide clean up if you will. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
