Deleting useless files using 'BleachBit'

Hello guys, I just wanna know what are those essential files that are 'OKAY' to delete using BleachBit? I mean those files that are useless and should be deleted, and also that won't cause problem when deleting them, because I tried to open BleachBit (not an Administrator). So anyone knows what files that are OKAY to be deleted using BleachBit.


Note: I'm using Zorin OS Lite 6.

Hi,

another note on "Bleachbit", it has 2 icons, one as normal user; then another which is the "root" version. I use them both and the root version requires the root password!.

So you mean, I will use bleachbit in Normal user and then the Root ? I need to do it twice?

Jawohl (yes indeed),

the root version has a couple of different cleaner functions like admin files that the normal user account cannot delete!!.

Just for the record, I just run:

Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove

and
Code:
sudo apt-get autoclean

True Swarf. You are correct. I just said that because at least for me, these two commands are sufficient to keep my system clean and fast.
