BleachBit to cleanup unwanted files on your openSUSE
Posted by admin on April 16th, 2009
Install BleachBit
To install BleachBit in openSUSE, click this 1-click installer from Packman supported on openSUSE 11.1/11.0/10.3
This should download the YMP file and automatically launch the YaST package manager to add the required Repositories, download and install BleachBit and the dependencies. Click next on the BleachBit installation screen and Next again on the installation proposal window. This should start adding the required repositories, download and install BleachBit and its required dependencies. Click Finish when the installation completes successfully.
This should install BleachBit under Applications – System – File System as “Unnecessary File Cleaner“. You can see here there are two menu items, one to run as a normal user (your user user account) and one as an Administrator to delete files which cannot be deleted by a normal user (requires Admin password though).
You can select the application for which you want to perform a clean up and then choose to preview the files before deleting files. As you can see there aren’t much of preferences or even menu items.
Simple and cool utility but effecient enough to do what it says on the tin. Click here to visit the project homepage.

this is really cool and should be included in the next distribution of openSUSE 11.2 whose road-map has just been released.
