Has something new come along? It’s been so long since I’ve needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.
Absolutely not. It was sold to a third party with nebulous privacy policy among other annoyances. Get you some Bleachbit.
Awesome I’ll look into that one. Thanks!
Be very careful with Bleachbit, it’s very powerful and can ruin your system if you go too far cleaning. Ask me how I know 😂
How do you know?
More specificly, how did you break your system? What did you do? Did you “clean” your partition table or something?
Let’s say, I checked too many boxes and messed with the root directory. Anything that shows as “slow” is dangerous
root directory? why are you running bleachbit on linux??
Probably for the same reason someone would run it on Windows. It has both a Windows and Linux version.
Why? To clean up left overs? You think Linux doesn’t have that and is just all pink and unicorns? lol
Not that person but I tried to do the secure cleaning mode where it zeros empty space but I think I was also downloading something at the same time. This was several years ago but I vaguely recall my system being unable to boot.
Let me dig up that Ubuntu ISO link right quick…
Honestly these days the built in Windows tools are more than enough. Storage settings gets the job done.
Also I love Linux too guys but those comments with nothing else aren’t very helpful.
Honestly I just run WinDirStat and do it manually.
Wiztree is like a hundred times faster, fyi.
Nowadays, I use GNU/Linux.
Imagine running an operating system that needs third party “cleaning” utilities
Imagine interacting with other human beings without being a cringelord. No really, try.
