DKMS Cleanup Script

This is a Bash script designed to clean up leftover DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) artifacts after upgrading module sources or removing kernels. The script helps maintain a clean system by removing unnecessary DKMS directories and files associated with non-existent kernels.

Features

• Dry Run: Run the script as a non-root user to perform a preliminary check of DKMS artifacts.
• Automated Cleanup: Automatically removes DKMS directories and files for kernels that no longer exist.
• Logging: Provides informative logging with color-coded messages for easy readability.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/nazdridoy/dkms-cleanup.git
   cd dkms-cleanup

2. Run the Script:

   • As a non-root user for a preliminary check:

     ./dkms-cleanup.sh

   • As root to perform the cleanup:

     sudo ./dkms-cleanup.sh

Important Notes

• Caution: Always run the script as a non-root user first to understand what changes will be made.
• Backup: Consider backing up important data before running the script as root.
