Feature Request: Remove Empty Folders

Forums: 
Forum tags: 

Hello BleachBit Team,

First of all, thank you for creating such a powerful and useful cleaning tool. It has been very helpful for maintaining system cleanliness and privacy.

I would like to suggest a new feature that could improve usability even further: an option to automatically remove empty folders.

After performing cleanup operations, especially when deleting cache, logs, or temporary files, many empty directories are often left behind. These folders can accumulate over time and clutter the filesystem.

It would be very useful to have:

Export Script

Forums: 

Make a menu entry to export current preset selection to a batch/bash script. I was wanting this because I was making a mega cleaning script that ran BleachBit, ChkDsk, and MyDefrag and beings I have WinApp2.ini there is a bunch of stuff. So anyway, here's what it should look like:
bash

#!/bin/bash
bleachbit -c {overwrite?} {presets}

batch

@echo off
cd {bleachbit-location}
bleachbit_console -c {overwrite?} {presets}

Or something similar.

[feat] Support for XBMC logs

Forums: 

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. ;)
