Bleachbit

[Silvernail]

After reading on this website, I decided to go with 'bleachbit' over 'computer-janitor'.

Is the error message below normal? Is something missing on my system? Is it safe to proceed with it?

dave@Dafydd:~$ bleachbit  -p
info: starting BleachBit version 0.9.1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bleachbit", line 47, in <module>
    bleachbit.CLI.process_cmd_line()
  File "/usr/share/bleachbit/bleachbit/CLI.py", line 189, in process_cmd_line

  File "/usr/share/bleachbit/bleachbit/CLI.py", line 105, in preview_or_clean
    worker = Worker.Worker(cb, really_clean, operations).run()
  File "/usr/share/bleachbit/bleachbit/Worker.py", line 67, in __init__
    raise RuntimeError("No work to do")
RuntimeError: No work to do
dave@Dafydd:~$

Manual tells me:

-p, --preview preview files to be deleted and other changes

what about ubuntu tweak?

Their website says for Ubuntu 11.04 and before. Is that anything for 12.04 and after?

Bleachbit works very good to clear out the crap files that build up.
Just make use you get the two versions, Bleachbit and Bleachbit as Administrator.

Bleachbit run without elevated privileges/root will display permission warnings and with any cleaner make sure you understand the cleaning options you select.
