I’ve installed debian on an old laptop and am wondering if the 10 gig base system size can be slimmed down by deleting unneeded files.

I ran the commands to look for any runaway logs or other obviously large files and nothing popped out.

Is there a group of folders full of stuff I don’t need or is this just the size of modern distros?

EDIT: I ended up doing a netinstall and got a 6ish gig system so I’m pretty happy with that. The netinstall image was able to detect my wifi card even though the debian live installer was not.
