BleachBit: Delete unnecessary files!!

Offlate, I am bumping into an Ubuntu which isn't quite fast. I have a CQ60 machine, loaded with Ubuntu 10.10. While I was thinking of all possible reasons for it's unusual slowness, I came up with a vague idea- "Hey!! Linux also does some amount of processing enough to generate files (junk files and cookies)" So here I was searching the Ubuntu Software Center (hail the USC and Ubuntu developers, I just love the USC!), and found a handy tool - BleachBit!! Analogous to the "MS Windows Disk Cleanup Utility", BleachBit lets you delete Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, unused packages and helps free up valuable disk space in Ubuntu.

Let's go through the installation steps, shall we?
  1. Well first navigate to Ubuntu Software Center, type in "BleachBit" in the search box.
  2. Click on install.
  3. You can find this app under Applications >> System Tools >> BleachBit
That's it, easy as 1,2,3...!!

If you need assistance on how to run this application, do leave a comment and I will help you out!!
