What does Shred Settings and Quit do?
I'm using BleachBit 0.9.1 (Linux) and am preparing a presentation to the local Linux users group. I've been using BleachBit for a while but I cant find anything that explains the "Shred Settings and Quit" option from the File menu.
Did I miss something in the docs about that? If so my apologies, could you point the way?
*Note, I've noticed there is a new version 0.9.3 so I'm upgrading to that for my presentaion.

shred settings and quit
This option is for people who don't want others to know they used BleachBit. It's a self-cleaning feature.
Specifically, it erases BleachBit's settings as if you never used BleachBit. Then BleachBit closes. (Keeping BleachBit open implies using BleachBit, which would lead to it recreating the settings.)
