Tried bleachbit today for the first time and it seems great. Opened it up and tried to clean everything. It estimated that 2.93 GB would be freed. When I go to clean it I get permission denied for most of it. But not to worry because I can run bleachbit as root. When I preview as root 0 MB of space will be freed.
I want those GB back.
