as a former hardware techinician, be careful with the vacuum cleaner near sensitive electronics.
Many vacuums with their all plastic construction can build up static electricity.. and ESD damage may or may not be apparent at once - or may come back to cause trouble later
At work we got a ESD safe portable unit for such use:

Having been and still am a hardware technician for more than 60 years, hang on to the metalwork of the computer and around the sucking end of the vacuum cleaner if you are so worried.
And yes, I was cleaning out a very dusty computer yesterday, an HP.

I always use a ground strap, wrist to chassis, when I do anything inside a computer case.

Switch OFF, remove the power cable, take the cover off and with a good strong vacuum cleaner and brush, clean all of the dust out of fans and heat-sink grills. If compressed air is available possibly a better way of doing it.
If you were meaning software then the question is why? Dust and dirt don't effect it, it isn't windows which need cleaning often.
If I have helped you solve a problem, please add [SOLVED] to your first post title, it helps other users looking for help.

Is there a point to this post that hasn't been already mentioned by myself and others ???...You included 3 of the same commands i already provided...You have no explaination with your post as to why its posted redundantly to say nothing more than what is already mentioned in previous posts to this thread and The OP has already marked it solved...DAMIENPetermint wrote: ⤴Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:33 pmCode: Select all

What does your command of sudo fstrim -va do different, if at all, that my previously posted command of sudo fstrim -av doesnt already do ???
