Download BleachBit – Free System Cleaner to Free Space and Protect Privacy

BleachBit is a free, open-source system cleaning tool for Windows and Linux that helps you reclaim disk space, speed up your computer, and protect your privacy. It scans for and removes temporary files, browser caches, cookies, log files, and other junk data that accumulates over time from hundreds of applications.

Beyond disk cleanup, BleachBit includes a secure file shredder that overwrites deleted files to prevent recovery, making it useful for privacy-conscious users who want to ensure sensitive data is permanently erased. It supports cleaning for over 200 applications including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, LibreOffice, and many system components.

BleachBit is transparent and does not bundle any adware or toolbars. It gained public attention when it was used by notable political figures to wipe email servers, demonstrating its effectiveness for thorough data removal. It is a reliable, free alternative to CCleaner.
