The last time I had a look at BleachBit, it was a series
of scripts. Scripts you can examine to see what
they're cleaning.

I like BleachBit, mainly as a means of identifying
where the information is stored. I don't actually
want it "stripping the cupboard bare", as I'm sure
at least one of the scripts is overkill.

Like most of these utilities, it's a matter of
figuring out the good parts and the bad parts,
and not using the bad parts :-)

And some trivia for you...

      "then to docleanups"
      "I get amessage that"
      "The latterfacts I can't"
      "cleanupscript in bash"

Something is eating the white space in your messages :-)

Yum. What dipping sauce goes with White Space ?
