i run apt-get autoclean once in a while after the system seems to be fairly stable. i don't want to run this often though because once in a while an older version can come in handy (i'm running Debian testing). my general maintenance routine is to list out all the packages installed and to go through and check if they are still being used and if not i purge them. for python environments, if i'm not using that application often i can usually delete the virtual environment because i have scripts set up to create and remove them as needed. if the application has any data stored someplace that data gets backed up regularly so it can be restored. things i have backed up are on two devices internal to the machine and also an external copy that is only powered up for the back up or when needed to find and restore something. i do need a better back up and restore system but that is a project for another winter and this one is almost over. songbird
