+  <title>Cleaning Up</title>
+
+  <para>Finally, clean up some extra files left around from running tests:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>rm -rf /tmp/*</userinput></screen>
+
+  <para>There are also several files installed in the /usr/lib and /usr/libexec
+  directories with a file name extension of .la. These are "libtool archive"
+  files. As already said, they are only useful when linking with static
+  libraries. They are unneeded, and potentially harmful, when using dynamic
+  shared libraries, specially when using also non-autotools build systems.
+  To remove them, run:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>find /usr/lib /usr/libexec -name \*.la -delete</userinput></screen>
+
+   <para>For more information about libtool archive files, see the <ulink
+   url="&blfs-book;introduction/la-files.html">BLFS section "About Libtool
+   Archive (.la) files"</ulink>.</para>
+
+   <para>The compiler built in <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> and
+   <xref linkend="chapter-chroot-temporary-tools"/> is still partially
+   installed and not needed anymore. Remove it with:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>find /usr -depth -name $(uname -m)-lfs-linux-gnu\* | xargs rm -rf</userinput></screen>
+
+   <para>Finally, remove the temporary 'tester' user account created at the
+   beginning of the previous chapter.</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>userdel -r tester</userinput></screen>
