I just performed a browser and system cleanup on Windows Vista..
While the cleaning was performed, I tried minimizing the BleachBit window, which wouldn't minimize, and clicked a folder on my desktop to look at its contents..
Apparently, BleachBit, while running the system and browser cleanup, "mistook" the folder I wanted to view as an item to be deleted - and deleted it/all contents..
I installed BleachBit from omg ubuntu and it has installed as BleachBit (as root). How do I uninstall it? If you can help could you please layout as simple as possible as I am a first time Ubuntu (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) user.
All help appreciated!
I installed BleachBit , and i was doing scans, it completely froze and I killed the process. NOW: every time i double click on windows folders (many folders, not all folders) BleachBit application (process) opens up by itself and it lists the folder contents and asks: "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files" How can I fix this! I tried renaming BleachBit folder (to stop the application from starting), and when i did and i try to open folders I get this message: "Application not found"
I use Bleachbit on Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 10 currently. I noticed that it doesn't show a UAC prompt on Windows 10. Is that intentional? I used it on 8.1 and previous Windows versions and it shown a UAC prompt. I thought something was up so I right clicked and ran it as an admin and it shown the prompt and seemed to find an additional 100MB of junk that it didn't find when running it literally a minute before. This is on my personal computer, not some locked down public computer. Anyone else with Windows 10 not getting the UAC prompt?
When I try to use this option, I get a warning that it will take a long time. Then when I proceed, it takes less than one minute to finish, and I get these error messages:
I saw a data recovery and forensics expert speaking on a disk imaging tool which, unlike typical disk imagers that only read forward (and skip over sectors when they hit bad spots), this tool integrates code from dcfldd and "changes direction" in order to read backward, and forward again. It also comes back to sectors, like it's mimicking a torrent. In this way, he has recovered data in which other data recovery guys had previously marked "unreadable" and assumes them all as 0's. So naturally, my first thought turned to BleachBit. ...
This question actually applies to any file wiping tool that doesn't rewrite files accessing the clusters directly, but I'm asking here because BleachBit got my attention by adverting that 1 pass is enough, while other tools make you think that real safety is to rewrite files 35 times over, which, by what I've read around, doesn't make sense in current times. My question is about Windows, NTFS, but info on other platforms is welcome, I like learning.
I recently installed Bleachbit 0.9.3 for my Windows 7 PC. I went under >Preferences>Custom>Add-Folder, and added my user's downloads folder to be deleted. I run BleachBit and use the "clean" option, and it doesn't delete anything in my downloads folder. I also noticed that my user's downloads folder automatically gets white listed under Bleachbit preferences.
Sorry if this isn't a bug and something I've done myself, but I've just switched from CCleaner to Bleachbit. It's still a new experience for me.
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,

System is Windows 7 (64-bit), or Windows 7 (32-bit), or Vista, or Windows XP, etc
BleachBit is 0.9.2 and is being ran as the console version on multiple PCs
I've got a Windows .CMD file (lmi-tmpbatch.cmd) that I need to be protected for deletion by BleachBit (i.e. whitlisted), but the folder the file appears is is randomly named, for example:
