BleachBit occupies the entire free disk space after wipe swap and free space.

After running BleachBit to clean Firefox (cache, DOM, cookies etc), wipe swap and free space storage, BleachBit occupies whole storage although free space around is 7-8GB.

Stderr output of BleachBit:

sudo bleachbit

My Debian OS is in /dev/sda8 partition. As you can see, used space is 137GB out of 144GB but Avail is still 0MB and use is 100%.

Even pressing Tab for auto-completion in terminal shows me error: "bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device". After that, once again I tried to wipe swap and free space but it fails with the same runtime error message "swap device /dev/sda7 is larger than expected". Then I checked the source code (Memory.py#L279) where max memory size of swap is 29GB (Memory.py#L275). But my swap memory size is 9.2G (for more details see below).

cat /proc/swaps

I found a related issue (comment #14) on the forum but that is not helpful for me. Due to this my PC is no longer working properly.

System details

• OS: Debian 9.8 (Stretch)
• Desktop environment: GNOME
• BleachBit package: Official from Stretch main

Any help would be appreciated.
