Can anybody tell me how I can clean my Fedora partitions, especially system partition? I am running the latest Fedora version. Thank you Andreas
What do you mean by 'clean'. Do you eant to remove unused/unwanted files or remove a suspected virus ?
I am not sure that there is concept of 'cleaning' a partition.
You can use variations of the find command to locate and delete files and / or directories. for example: find /path/to/directory -type f -atime +100 -exec rm -f {} ;
will locate and delete all files which were last accessed more than 100 days ago. Obiviously, this needs to be used with care so that you don't delete something importatnt.
I am sure that others will give you more options.

With fedora if you want to remove specific partitions from your disk. Be extra careful because once you have deleted them it will become extremly difficult to fix. First if your hard drive has LVM then I suggest you read the lvm man pages especially 'pvremove' -- remove a logical partition. Steps for partition removal are asfollows: First identify the partitions you wish to remove. As superuser you can run the following command to identify your partitions. sudo blkid -o list -c /dev/null or you can run the more modern command of lsblk, again before use read the man pages on these commands so you understand the format.
Next download from a fedora website "gparted" Gnome partition editor. This is a gui operated editor and is quite easy to use. It comes with a good usage manual that you can access from within the program. Copy this to a bootable cd disk.
If you have LVM installed then you must remove the logical partition before using the gparted editor.
At this point having removed the required lvm partions then you may use the gparted programs to remove the selected partitions. Good luck
