Looks like Ubuntu Tweak project is no longer maintained and the application is no longer available through PPA. I particularly loved the Janitor feature in Ubuntu Tweak. Are there any alternatives one can use?

if you are familiar with the command line you can do exact the same thing yourself with a look at this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/234792/354350
BUT be careful and you should know what you are doing, because some commands use superuser-rights!
...maybe write a little script and everything is done with just one click! ;-)
anyway i would recommend to use BleachBit: it's a good file-cleaner with a GUI and (also in superuser-mode) you can hardly mess up your system.
open your terminal and just type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y bleachbit, type your password (no characters will be displayed) and wait till executed.

You can use unity-tweak-tool to install it:
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

Ubuntu Tweak had this Janitor, that I found particularly useful. Is there any tool that does similar things? May 14, 2016 at 13:44

@jaibatrik... I have found the terminal commands to be useful and quick: autoremove and autoclean. Synaptic is very good to repair broken packages. Jun 29, 2016 at 14:16
If cleaning is your objective, you have many options. Bleachbit is great. Nautilus has addons [use Synaptic to install these]. In terminal, you have autoremove and autoclean.
