What files should I clean up before creating a disk snapshot?

After setting up a new Ubuntu virtual machine guest, I like to take a disk snapshot so that I can restore to a working state in case I break something later on. I'd like to avoid snapshotting unnecessary files, so I always run apt-get clean beforehand.

What else might I be interested in cleaning up before taking the snapshot?

Depending on your programs, but I think that you can pretty much purge everything in /var/cache/ and ~/.cache and also delete your browser's cache or other programs like that.
