Cool tip to remove unwanted flak in your System.

While I was browsing today, I found cool little software called bleachbit. I did try it and found that it clears temporary data, caches of lots of applications. It has a preview mode in which it shows what all it deletes. It also allows you to select the locales you are interested and that removes lots of unnecessary data. It stores the previous selections, once you select the packages, using it again and again becomes very very easy. This is surely a boon for desktop like my home systems that have very less RAM and disk space. I still want to try it out at my home system. Will update you if removing all this unnecessary data actually helps speed ups my System.
