Where is the .deb cache

[Aliquid]

I have a small harddrive, and periodically I like to free up space. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where all the .debs that apt-get fetches are stored, so I can clean them out?

Re: Where is the .deb cache

The cache for apt is in /var/cache/apt/archives

to clean the cache use either:

sudo apt-get autoclean

(which removes redundant cached packages)

or

sudo apt-get clean

(which removes all cached packages)
