 ### What Do These Do?
 
 - `apt clean` - The `clean` command clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
+- `sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*` - Cleans all locally cached APT repository metadata (package lists and index files). This forces apt to fully re-fetch and rebuild its view of available packages on the next `apt update`.
 - `apt update` - the `update` option fetches indexes from all configured sources. These indexes are used by other apt options to determine which packages can be upgraded or installed.
 - `dpkg --configure -a` - The `--configure -a` command configures any unpacked but not yet configured packages.
 - `apt install -f` - The `-f` option attempts to correct broken dependencies
