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.

How do you know?

More specificly, how did you break your system? What did you do? Did you "clean" your partition table or something?

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

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??

[-] LostXOR@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

Probably for the same reason someone would run it on Windows. It has both a Windows and Linux version.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Why? To clean up left overs? You think Linux doesn't have that and is just all pink and unicorns? lol

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 10 points 7 months ago

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.
