Submitted by andrew on Sat, 11/13/2021 - 14:50
We are pleased to announce the BleachBit 4.4.2 maintenance release with a focus on improving stability.
Thank you to all the code contributors, testers and bug reporters, translators, and financial contributors that made this release possible! Changes
These are the changes since version 4.4.0:
Separate the cleaning option for site preferences from history (reported by corobin, fixed by ebaldridge).
Disable the auto-hide behavior for scrollbars (reported by banaagravrommel).
Report zero bytes as "0B" instead of just "0" (thanks to livingentity).
Clarify scope of cache cleaning for Discord (thanks to unknowntrojan).
Specific to Windows
Fix unreadable text for many languages, including Chinese and Japanese (first reported by huastone2018).
Fix broken scrollbar (reported first by banaagravrommel, fixed by rados).
Correct search pattern in Winapp2.ini (reported by MoscaDotTo, fixed by rados).
Honor Winapp2.ini ExcludeKey in certain scenarios (reported by livingentity, fixed by rados).
Show Winapp2.ini group names for Internet Explorer, Vivaldi, and Brave (thanks to livingentity).
Allow pasting a pathname when browsing for folder (thanks to Bozhidar-A).
Add option to silent installer for skipping desktop icon (requested by teknowledgist, fixed by rados).
Do not create shortcut to uninstaller as a best practice (suggested by craigacgomez).
Build font cache during installation to avoid delay during first start of application. At the end of installation while there is a black window with the title fc-cache.exe, you may notice a delay: this normally lasts about one minute, but on some systems it will take longer. It depends largely on the speed of the storage device (SSD/HDD) and the number of fonts.
Fix shredding through integration with the Windows Explorer context menu (reported by tlhulse, fixed by rados).
Show a splash screen (thanks to rados).
Update embedded SQLite from 3.35 to 3.36.

Run BleachBit without installation. https://www.bleachbit.org/features Features
BleachBit has many useful features designed to help you easily clean your computer to free space and maintain privacy.
Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy.
Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete.
Multi-platform: Linux and Windows
Free of charge and no money trail
Free to share, learn, and modify (open source)
No adware, spyware, malware, backdoors, browser toolbars, or "value-added software"
Translated to 65 languages besides American English
Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery
Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop)
Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files
Portable app for Windows: run without installation
Command line interface for scripting and automation
Write your own cleaners using CleanerML , a XML-based markup language
Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners
Frequent software updates with new features
Uses
Use BleachBit to:
Free disk space
Reduce the size of backups and the time to create them by removing unnecessary files
Maintain privacy
Improve system performance (by vacuuming the Firefox database, for example)
Prepare whole disk images for compression (common for "ghost" backups and virtual machines) by wiping free disk space
Cleaners
BleachBit includes a growing list of cleaners for Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, apt, VLC, Acrobat Reader, system logs and temporary files, and many others. Advanced cleaners
Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners:
Clear the memory and swap on Linux
Delete broken shortcuts on Linux
Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding
Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions.
Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint
Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files.
Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data
Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored
Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file
Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files
Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed
Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file
Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) Digital Signature ( Andrew Ziem ) BleachBit 4.4.2 & Portable BleachBit 4.4.2 Are Both 100% Scanned With WEBROOT SecureAnywhere CE 21.4 & Hitman Pro 3.8.23 For All Malware, Backdoors, Adware, PUPs, PUMs, Viruses, Trojans, Spyware, Worms, Ransomware, & Was Found Too Be 100% Malware Free & Clean Of Malware Infections Of Anykind
