There is not one, not really.  You just need to periodically clear out 
/tmp, /var/tmp and any other temp spaces you define.  Note that 
tmpwatch(8) runs daily so it should clear a lot of that old cruft out.

You can also periodically clear your browser's cache and stuff like 
that, but Linux doesn't accumulate cruft the way Windows does, so you 
don't really need anything like "disk cleanup."
