    Recovery Menu - What exactly does "Make Free Space" do?

    It may be obvious, but what procedures and functions does it do?

    Also, can it be performed after boot, and if so with what command?

    Thanks!

    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean
    Deletes all the .deb files in the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory.

    From
    Code:
    cat /usr/share/recovery-mode/options/clean

    So it's the "same thing" as "Clean - and related as "Autoclean".

    Thanks!
