Hello there,
Yes - I use it regularly.
It also claims to Vacuum out the SQL Lite databases in Firefox and
Google Chrome
I have had no issues with it at all.
I also run it with the "Root" settings and that seems OK as well
It seems to do what it says on the tin.
BTW I also run apt-get to clean things up a bit:
a) apt-get clean
To clean out the downloaded packages that were downloaded
to /var/cache/apt/archives
b) sudo apt-get autoremove or sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
This scans your package database for dependency packages that are no
longer required and removes them.
I also clean up some of the excessive thumbnail images in
/home/username/.thumbnails/large
/home/username/.thumbnails/normal
I use this:
find /home/*/.thumbnails -type f -atime +7 -exec rm {} \; >/dev/null
2>&1
Works for me!
Ed

Subject: [Peterboro] BleachBit

I happened upon a recommendation for the program 'BleachBit' which goes
through your Linux machine and deletes all sorts of cruft that
accumulates. Optionally it will also overwrite any files it can to make
the delete a little more permanent.
http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/
I ran it on my main machine (Linux Mint) and it found about 600MB of
goodies to delete! It even fixed the glitch with the MintMenu where it
wouldn't close automatically after I'd clicked on a program which was a
bonus.
I've not found any draw backs yet and was wondering if anyone else has
had a play?

P.S. It claims to do the same on Windows.
