There is not one, not really. You just need to periodically clear out
/tmp, /var/tmp and any other temp spaces you define. Note that
tmpwatch(8) runs daily so it should clear a lot of that old cruft out.
You can also periodically clear your browser's cache and stuff like
that, but Linux doesn't accumulate cruft the way Windows does, so you
don't really need anything like "disk cleanup."
