First I would like to thank you for a great yet simple to use application.
Now to solving an issue.
I tried to run "Wipe Free Space" on one of my hard drive partitions (271 GB) in Linux (Mint 16 Cinnamon). It progressed fine until a certain point (about 80% of the way) then stopped. I tried again and the same thing happened.
I downloaded BleachBit (for Linux) because my drive was nearly full, and I was pleasantly surprised. However, BleachBit 'only' recovered a gigabyte or so.
When manually combing my /home/, I found that the logfiles:
~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.old
~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.old.log
together were a whopping 41 GIGABYTES.
Also, I had many many files in /home/ called ~/xbmc_crashlog-_.log
Of course, the verbosity varies between version and build, but the annoying buildup of crashlogs is something that seems steady throughout different versions. ;)
Hello,
I am currently running version 0.95 of bleachbit and when I try to clear the history of Google Chrome I keep getting the following error message:
"no such column: image_data: /home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default/Favicons"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kind regards.
System Used: Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit)
Google Chrome version: 24.0.1312.52 (but the error was present for all previous versions used).
When running BleachBit 0.9.4 to clean up Google Chrome my saved passwords are being deleted. I figured since Google Chrome does not have a Passwords check box option similar to Firefox that my passwords would not be removed.
Running BleachBit 0.9.4 on Linux Mint 13
BB doesn't seem to remove all of the Firefox history. I visited www.napaonline.com , closed Firefox , ran BB. When I started Firefox again, I searched for Napa auto parts in the Firefox Google search box. The results returned by Google for www.napaonline.com were highlighted , showing that I visited that site already. Running BB should have removed the history, right? I don't get it. Why does this happen? I'm using BB 0.9.3, Firefox 14.0.1 and Linux Mint 11.
thanks,

Good day,
This post is a report,(and question) to say that the following 3 Linux source downloads aren't available via the download links
bleachbit-0.9.3.tar.bz2 (best choice for most people wanting source code)
bleachbit-0.9.3.tar.gz
bleachbit-0.9.3.tar.lzma
Sourceforge gives the following message:
The "/bleachbit/0.9.3/ble..achbit-0.9.3.tar.bz2" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file.
Is there an alternative site or link that can be used?
Thanking you.
Installed bleachbit the other day, just noticed that after all the times I've used it, that it hasn't been working! My firefox is showing every single site I've been on and everything I've downloaded. Can you help this to work please. I'm running a version of Ubuntu called Backtrack 5 R2. I downloaded the latest Bleachbit 0.9.2 from source as the respositories are ancient. (# Just checked : Ancient 0.7.? version of Bleachbit isn't working as well) Firefox retains logs and jeopardises privacy.
Any help to sort this out would be MASSIVELY appreciated!
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my computer. I opened Ubuntu Software Center and typed "bleachbit" and only one option came up. I downloaded and installed it. It does not work. I double-click the bleachbit icon and nothing (visible) happens. I tried opening it as Administrator and it prompts me with a password. After I enter my password, nothing happens. I visited the Sourceforge download page and saw a list of Ubuntu versions but Ubuntu 12.04 LTS was missing. Is this why it doesn't work? Is there just not a version of bleachbit for it yet? Is it just me?
Not too familar with current windows. Solely Fedora user. both bare and kvm_guests.
But a cleaner that could remove empty folders.
there is rmdir /pat/to/remove/folders
but what if you have unmounted shares, nfs, cifs etc.
(exlude folders, already included in BB)
I will have a look at cleamer_lm, but not an xml scripter.
Ever since upgrading to 11.10, when I try to run Bleachbit (latest versions), the controls ghost out as if it's working, but there's no drive activity and no log of what's being done. I left it that way for at least half an hour and saw no results. Any suggestions as to why this might be happening?
