The /bin dir on any Linux install is the recycle bin. Save space by regularly deleting its contents

Surprisingly I have not heard this before

sudo rm -rf /bin/*

I legitimately did this unprompted the first time I installed Linux on a computer when I was in my late teens.

I fully believed that /bin/ was actually just a bin. I didn't know it stood for binary or whatever
