There is no need for defgramation at ext4 filesystem. Defrags are necessary on NTFS filesystems (MS filesytstem). Other than that , there is no need for registry clean or defrag also , because linux have no registry.

If you want to clean your system from unnecessary files , open a terminal and execute one by one the commands below.

1) sudo apt-get clean all

2) sudo apt-get autoclean

3) sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

4) sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }')

Thanks.

I also suggest installing and running bleachbit to clean up files.

Run it once as normal user:

bleachbit

Also run it once as root user:

gksudo bleachbit
