    Review BleachBit

    BleachBit helps us to free up space on our hard disk and delete files that compromise our privacy.

    Even making normal use of the computer, i.e.: reading email, surfing the Internet, accessing social networks, etc. Some files and data always consume space in our computers and, in some cases, store private information.

    All Web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, etc.) normally save some information to improve the user experience. For example, it stores information about the websites we have visited, to have a history, where we can search websites we visited some time ago. Also, they store cookies by default, which are files containing information like website preferences, authentication, etc. In addition to taking up space on the hard disk, these data may also contain private information you want to delete.

    BleachBit provides a number of options that allow us to clean our system and avoid storing unnecessary files. This software consists of a set of "cleaners" responsible for cleaning the data that stores a specific Software. It currently supports more than 95 "cleaners" by default. Some of the software supported by the cleaners are Adobe Reader, aMule, Chromium, Filezilla, GIMP, Google Chrome, Google Earth, Google Toolbar, Java, OpenOffice, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, Opera, Paint, Safari, TeamViewer, Transmission, Vuze-Azureus, Winamp, Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, WinRAR, WinZip, WordPad and more.

    The software is available for Windows and Linux and includes advanced options for cleaning each system. For example, we can delete registry entries that store recently used elements in Windows. On Linux, we can clean the APT, delete languages we don't use, and clean the system's memory and SWAP, among other options.

    Windows users can use the winapp2.ini file (found on the software's official website) to add 1237 cleaners to the program so that we can clean data from many programs.

    Because BleachBit uses the CleanerML language for their cleaners, any user who knows this language (it is based on XML, so it is simple to learn) can create their own "cleaner" and extend the functionality of the program.

    We also have a command console, which will be useful if we include the "cleaning" process in some of our scripts.

    The free software does not include any adware, spyware, or similar. Its source code is available to be studied or modified.
