In their own words
BleachBit
BleachBit is a free, open-source cleanup tool for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It removes junk files to free disk space and can erase data such as browser traces to help protect privacy. Before deletion, users can preview selected files and choose what to clean. For sensitive data, it can shred files and overwrite free disk space to make recovery harder. Built-in cleaners handle applications including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and VLC, along with system logs and temporary files. Windows users can add cleaners through winapp2.ini, which the maker says provides access to thousands of additional cleaners. Advanced users can write custom cleaners using CleanerML; Linux cleaners include package-manager cleanup for APT, Pacman, Snap, Yum, and DNF. A command-line interface supports scripts and automated cleanup. BleachBit is licensed under GPLv3 and costs nothing, with no payment or registration required. The maker says it has no adware, spyware, telemetry, malware, bloatware, backdoors, or browser toolbars. Support options include documentation, videos, GitHub reports and questions, and feature requests; the help page asks users not to email technical support directly.
