Use BleachBit to:

• Free disk space
• Reduce the size of backups and the time to create them

Cleaners:

BleachBit includes a growing list of cleaners. Typically each cleaner represents an application such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Within each cleaner, BleachBit gives options covering components that can be cleaned such as cache, cookies, and log files. Each option is given a description to help you make good decisions.

What´s New in version 0.8.6:

• Fixes an issue in 0.8.5 for Google Chrome and Chromium
• Now all the search engine changes are moved out of "History" to a separate option called "Search engines."
• Default search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing) will not be removed. If you cannot search Google using the Omnibox, see the instructions in the 0.8.5 release notes .
• Now the usage statistics for the default search engines will be reset to zero (instead of deleting them).
• Non-default search engines will be removed because the browser automatically, quietly adds them for many sites (such as CNN, Youtube, and many others) while you browse, so it creates a usage history. (Before you ever clean them, follow the instructions Manage Search Engines to see how many are listed.)
