apt-get autoclean (and it isn't in apt.conf(5), it's in apt-get(8),
about halfway down looking at my local copy
http://ursine.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/dwww?type=man&location=/usr/share/man/man8/apt-get.8.gz)
is what you're looking for.

I know it's a rude shock, but this public forum doesn't exist for your
sole, private benefit. If you want a private tutor, hire one. Don't
tell us that you need this because you "don't get this newsgroup",
either: That's what the archives are for.
