A few years ago I started an app to help me keep my /home folder clean. After installing and uninstalling tons of software, it was cluttered with configuration files and old caches that were just wasting space. I released it because I figured a lot of people were affected by the same problem.

Mundus keeps a small internal database of the most used applications, and also checks for any installed software available on the database. It will then cross reference this data, and provide you a list of apps which are not installed but left unused files. It will allow you to backup and/or clean them, or to restore them if you reinstalled the application.

You can check it out here!

I wrote it using a programming language called Gambas, so you will need to download the interpreter, and some of it's components. You can check the installation instructions below.

If you can't find an app on its list, let me know so I can add it. Or better, add it yourself!

It's really easy to do it. Internally, an app is called a module, and each directory it has on your home folder is called a submodule. A module is just a JSON file describing the application, and it's folders! You can check an exapmple of the Google Chrome module here
