Known issues

The newest version of Google Chrome may produce the error "Favicons is version 29" (issue LP#1367277). Consequently, a relatively small part of Google Chrome is not cleaned. This is fixed in BleachBit 1.5.2 beta.

On startup on some Windows systems, BleachBit may produce the error "access denied." This is fixed in BleachBit 1.5.2 beta.
