My week on the other hand, has been pretty good, my birthday was yesterday, lol I hardly ever announce that for my own reasons but at least this means I have made through another year! It hasn’t been easy, I can tell you that, anyway, please read on…
Today we will feature an awesome app that was highlighted by our friends at OMGUbuntu.co.uk yesterday. Ubuntu Cleaner is the app of the day, possibly week. It really does do what the name says.

Let’s explore a bit more and find out if this app is truly worth your time to try.
