Multitude of Language files

Forums: 

Please look into deleting all of the unnecessary language files. Apple, as an example, is really horrible about this, they ask you what language you want to converse in, and then they install the language packs in a multitude of places. I wrote a simple script that removes all of these files and their respective folders if applicable.

In short why do I need to clutter up my disk drive with three kinds of Chinese, a multitude of Spanish versions, etcetra when I am never going to use them?

Clean Windows dump files

Forums: 

It would be nice if BleachBit could delete Windows dump files namely, %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP

BitDefender, sqlite and version 0.8.0

I downloaded the 0.8.0 windows executable and it wouldn't install at all. A dos window opened and closed but installation didn't proceed. I did this twice with the same result on two different computers.
I downloaded the zipped version and installation was OK on both computers, except that I got the same message on both: "Error loading the SQLite module: the antivirus software may be blocking it." I couldn't find any evidence that BitDefender was blocking it nor a way of preventing it blocking it. (However, this doesn't mean that it is not happening.)

Error log and what to do

Every time I run bleachbit it does delete the majority of files but I also end up with a number of them in the error log.

What can I do to get these deleted?

BleachBit Installer + Windows 7 + Symantec Antivirus 10.2 = CPU pegged.

Forums: 
Forum tags: 

Don't know where exactly the problem lies here but on my Lenovo W500 running Windows 7 (Enterprise) and Symantec AV 10.2, the presence of the installer causes pegged CPU issues. For example, just opening the C:\Downloads folder which contains the BleachBit installer starts the CPU up. Trying to click on it and choose Properties for example pegs the CPU for a solid minute or so if not longer. Some time it will never return until I start killing off the explorer.exe process. Although the explorer.exe process claims all the CPU, this is related to SAV 10.2.
