Delete files in /var/cache to save space

Question

There is very little space left on my file system. I want to delete files in /var/cache to save disk space. Are there some important files in the /var/cache which mustn't be deleted? If there are,please list all of them. My system is Debian.

Did you already execute `apt-get clean` (as root)? – Dubu Jul 15 '15 at 09:54 — Dubu, Jul 15 '15 at 09:54

as I see, the only one folder in /var/cache that is big is apt. To safely delete apt's cache, run this command as root: aptitude clean. I'm not so sure about the others, they might be important, or might not. If you want to free up your disk space, you also want to use bleachbit.
