2. Select what to clean: Check the boxes next to the items you want to clean, such as ‘Cache,’ ‘Cookies,’ ‘Logs,’ or specific applications like Firefox or Google Chrome.
   
3. Run a preview scan: Before cleaning files, it’s recommended to run a ‘Preview’ to see which files will be deleted. Click the ‘Preview’ button to generate a report of items that will be cleaned.
   
4. Run BleachBit as administrator: For deeper system cleaning, such as removing system files and freeing up more space, right-click the BleachBit icon and select ‘Run as Administrator.’

• Shred Files: BleachBit can securely delete files by shredding them, making recovery impossible. To shred files, go to ‘File’ > ‘Shred Files,’ then browse to the file or folder you want to permanently delete.
  
• Wipe Free Disk Space: To overwrite the free space on your hard drive, go to ‘Edit’ > ‘Preferences’ and enable ‘Overwrite Free Space.’ This ensures that previously deleted files cannot be recovered using recovery tools.

2. Shred directories: If you want to shred entire folders instead of individual files, go to ‘File’ > ‘Shred Folders’ and select the folder you want to delete securely.
   
3. Change overwrite method: BleachBit offers several methods for overwriting deleted files (single pass, 3 passes, or 7 passes). Go to ‘Edit’ > ‘Preferences,’ then choose your preferred method under ‘Overwrite Files.’
   
4. Automate cleaning tasks: You can schedule regular cleaning tasks by creating scripts. For example, use the Windows Task Scheduler to run BleachBit commands automatically.
   
5. Remove localization files: To free up more space, BleachBit can remove unnecessary localization files for languages you don’t use. Go to ‘System’ > ‘Localizations’ and select this option.
   

• Preview shows no files: If the preview scan shows no files to delete, ensure you have selected the correct items in the list (such as cache or logs). Also, make sure to run BleachBit as an administrator for full system access.

• Files not being permanently deleted: Ensure that file shredding is enabled under ‘Edit’ > ‘Preferences’ and that the overwrite method is correctly set to secure file deletion.
  
• High CPU usage during cleaning: Cleaning large amounts of data, especially with deep scans, can temporarily increase CPU usage. Let the process complete, and it should return to normal after the cleaning is done.
  
• BleachBit crashing: If BleachBit crashes during operation, try updating to the latest version. Also, avoid selecting too many system-critical areas for cleaning at once.
  

1. Open the Control Panel or Settings app on your computer.
