windows

Thank you to Andrew for developing and supporting Bleachbit (and to everyone who helps); it's very generous of you. I ran into a problem that I hope someone can help with.

Wiping a large amount of free space on an external hard drive, Windows' System process (one thread in particular, per a process manager) consumes an increasing amount of CPU over time. It starts under 10%, but in one test was using over 20% within ~45 min. In another test, after around 9 hours, System was using over ~70% and Bleachbit's estimated completion time had more than doubled.

I would like to propose two new buttons - Save and Load.

SAVE would save the current cleaning settings to a user named file.

LOAD would load the cleaning settings from a selected file.

Reason:
It's always surprised me that users are happy to have just one set of saved cleaning settings. The implication is that they always want to do the same cleaning. I know variations can be made by changing clicking on options but then that becomes the saved configuration file.

After running BleachBit I get the "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted, or is too large" error. Reboot and Photo Viewer works again. Am I the only one? Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP 1 and BB 1.6 (PortableApps version).

Clean on Windows start-up.

This is not the PORTBABLE version. It is the English Only version.

Seems to install fine, but when executed, get:

Errors occurred

and here is the log file:

A long time ago, windows added in their built in cleaner to clean out old windows updates that are no longer needed. There is about 655MB on my system of uneeded updates. The decription says:

Windows keeps copies of all installed updates from Windows Updates, even after installing newer versions of updates. Windows Updates cleanup deletes older versions of updates that are no longer needed and taking up space. (You might need to restart your computer)

Windows 7 Prof 64 bit:

I understand BleachBit installs only through the Administrator's account.

But, does BleachBit clean all user accounts (accounts of least privilege) or only the Administrator(s) account.

Additionally, does it clean all users in the Administrators Group.

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.

Welcome
This is my first post on this forum. I was looking for some cleaning application temp files and deleting user history for Windows that can be used in companies. I found BleachBit, but I think the program has a bug.

Well, do not remove temp files in% LOCALAPPDATA% \ Temp, or C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Temp. Windows 7 and 8, 64-bit. I do not know if this a bug? Please investigate the problem.

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.
