Another method is to list recently modified files
Before you rm a file, check it with fuser. No output means not in use and safe to delete.
I'm not sure that the code from MadeInGermany does actually do this. To me, it looks like it finds files over 100 blocks (i.e. 100 x 512 bytes = 51,200 bytes) Searching by modification time uses the -mtime flag, more like this:-
.... to find files that are "not more than five days since last update"
When using fuser, I would caution you that a file not being in use does not necessarily mean that it is safe to delete. If you remove /usr/bin/rm because it's not in use, then you start getting into real trouble. There are many others that you should not delete too. I would add that your should know that you don't need a file before you remove it. Of course, OS critical files should not have been recently updated, so that gives you some protection there.
If there are some large ones that you don't recognise, post a (full path) list of them in CODE tags and we'll see if there is anything standard that you need to keep. Also be aware that database files will always be showing as newly updated. Hopefully, they will show as in-use, but it depends how your applications work.
