Cleaning software

Agree with all comments, use with "Caution"
Take backups**, if you plan to use it...

I use it on a weekly/periodic basis, but leave the:
"Bash History" - "Unchecked" , I like my bash history
"Free Disk Space" - "Unchecked" ,  Only really useful for when you want to compact a disk(s) in a VM to reclaim disk space.
"Memory" - "Unchecked" , Have plenty of memory so don't want to create issues....

Never had issues...
Lite Tweaks more or less does the same, with 2 exceptions:
1. Bleachbit gets rid of "Non-Locale" language files, I'm set-up for English UK, but updates & installs bring all variants of English.
    I have just checked now, I gained back 205MB of space taken with the extra "Extra" English language files...
    This can be fixed by changes/tweaks to: /etc/default/locale , but have not bothered, for so little gain

2. Bleachbit seems to get rid of a "few", and I mean a few more temp, and archived log files.

So unless you really have a need... stick to Lite Tweaks


**
Part of my backup suite is Aptik , very useful for settings, some nice additions added recently,
Ignore the migration bit, you can still use it just to backup/restore settings.

Upgrades WIP 2.6 to 2.8 - (6 X 2.6 to 2.8 completed on: 20/02/16 All O.K )
