BleachBit 6.0.6 adds Ubuntu 26.10 support, cleaning options for the Helium browser and Docker, and cleanup for temporary files from Claude, VS Code and Chromium.
File deletion now runs in 512 KiB chunks; the release also improves startup speed, deep cleaning and Linux handling of Snap app revisions.
Improvements in cleaning and speed
The new version makes the program start faster, while improving the deep cleaning and permanent file deletion process. For more efficient operation, file deletion is now done in smaller chunks of 512 KiB.
Additionally, BleachBit can now clean temporary files from the Helium browser, Docker, Claude, VS Code, and Chromium-based applications. Cleaning has also been improved for LibreWolf, both the classic and Flatpak versions of the program.
Changes for Linux, macOS, and other systems
For Linux users, the update adds support for the Ubuntu 26.10 operating system. The program can now delete more old versions of Snap apps, helping to save disk space.
