Hi !

There is a pretty good app called BleachBit.
http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/

 Been using it for a few months now and its pretty good
It has a lot of options and allows for cleaning up of plenty of cruft !
Just make sure you do not delete something you do not want to delete :)

Thanks,
Nandan
