Bleachbit is, according to Wikipedia, "a free and open-source disk space cleaner, privacy manager, and computer system optimizer.". The features can be seen at the following link.
http://www.bleachbit.org/features
I would not recommend using Bleachbit with sudo, without first creating a restore point with Systemback, and recommend that you don't try to use it to wipe free space from the HDD at all. See my previous post for links. Bleachbit is a powerful tool that if used incorrectly can trash your operating system.

Completely agree... "Use with Caution"
Many a person came un-stuck with "ccleaner" in Windows.
Especially if they forgot to use the "back-up" feature :(

Oh now that I think about it when I used to use windows I have used a program called tweak-now and that was a program like Bleach-bit. Never had a problem with that program. I believe they used to color coordinate the results where you could be sure to only dabble in safe areas. Never used CCleaner.
As for Bleach-bit I don't want to come off as someone poopooing on the software. Like I said before I enjoy testing new utilities. As a result forwarding results good or bad here is always a plus.
btw 2.8 LL feels nice, as usual.
I'v been bashing Windows way before Microsoft.....

Yes, there are many tools/utils that can be used,
It's about understanding what they do, and importantly what to do if something goes wrong....
I remember trying something in the early day's that made it easy to customise xfce menus
Well that didn't quite go to plan, the more I tried to fix it, the worse it got.. So I re-installed. :(
Lesson learn't
