Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After using ukuu for a while a keep installing new kernel versions, the .cache/ukuu can reach several GB.
After some problem tracing I detected that ukuu downloads the kernels to the folder: .cache/ukuu/<version>/amd/*.deb And these files are never deleted. These files, unlike the CHANGED/index.html/valid which are owned by the user, are owned by the root.

Describe the solution you'd like During a remove/purge operation delete these files as well.
