Linux Lite Forums

Hey everyone! I been Googling for an easy way to free up memory with a few terminal commands instead of using a program like Bleachbit. I searched the forum before posting here.

Found this but I keep getting permission denied!

Basically a quite convenient way to go about it.

Thank you.

I use these occasionally.
free -m to see how much is being used
sudo sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3 to clear it.

I use this on my servers, add it to your .bashrc

Thank you! and I'm sorry I could not reply sooner. Had some things come up that kept me away from the computer.

I'll make a batch file to run those
