I almost sure that normal Linux users are not using such tools. But asking: “just in case”. On Windows 7 CCleaner was a really good tool before avast purchased Piriform. DISM++ another example of nice software.

Personally, I don’t use such software, but I’ve read about Bleachbit here and there. Always use such software with caution, perhaps someone here has more experience. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/bleachbit/
