Hello Linux geeks. As you may know BleachBit is the Linux equivalent of the CCleaner that only runs on windows. It is a disk cleaner type of software that quickly frees disk space and tirelessly guards your privacy, free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know. Not only runs on Linux or other *nix platform but also can run on windows machine. And one great thing with this other than free, BleachBit is open source.
It's primary features are:
- Identifying and removing Web cache, HTTP cookies, URL history, temporary files log files and Flash cookies for Firefox, Opera, Safari, APT, Google Chrome
- Removing unused localizations (also called locale files) which are translations of software
- Shredding files and wiping unallocated disk space to minimize data remanence
- Wiping unallocated disk space to improve data compression ratio for disk image backups
- Vacuuming Firefox's SQLite database which suffers fragmentation
- Command line interface for scripting automation and headless operation
Current latest version is BleachBit 1.2
