    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.
      • 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.

    Beware this issue when installing 4.6.0. I've reverted back to 4.4.2 in the meantime.

    Win 11 - BleachBit error cleaning Edge pls close try again

    Edge closed, next 'Task Mgr.', and kill Edge process, and then BB cleans without error. Note CCleaner has the same problem cleaning Edge. The error occurs in ver 4.2& 4.6 of BB

    Hi JR, I installed portable app, choose 'bleach bit from the list' install 0 errors.

    Run BBit upload_2023-11-20_9-59-8.png

    The error is Edge being open, this has been occurring since 4.0, perhaps the problem lies elsewhere in the OS deeper level, perhaps changed that keeps BBit from getting the message to EDGE?

    Rico, I'm no help. I run Win7 64-bit and don't use Edge (Firefox ESR user). Perhaps someone else can chime in and help Rico.

    No problem! I'm just fishing for...
    Long-winded issue normal fix, does not work

    upload_2023-11-20_10-20-45.png

    Edge must be closed from task bar kill process "MS Edge" process > then clean with BBit > no errors.

    FYI just thinking out loud at HDD failure factory partition <deleted>, after windows sign out, the OS becomes virtual memory, interacting with hardware, could, the error have to do with the missing partition & intended write area, being unavailable? Commonality?

    One fit is: Optane error unable to start
    BIOS updates all fail at same point on install, + always the old BIOS version remains, after the reboot
    BleachBit cannot work with EDGE regardless of ver number, Edge is way deep in M$ OS code.

    common amongst the 3??

    mantra, this Post states that the third portable revision included the Visual C runtime so it could run properly, and it works in my Win7 64-bit PC.

    Well, BleachBit stated that issue as known, and sorry, I don't use their Official Portable Distribution so I can't tell you if that's true.

    Why nobody here likes Beachblit? I see no comments about it.
    I'm thinking of a replacement for CCleaner.

    I’m not making any comments, you are right. But I have been using Bleachbit as a CCleaner replacement for a couple of years now. In fact since it was acquired by Avast. I like it, it’s all I need and I don’t miss CCleaner at all.;)

    hi
    may i ask you if you had some issues using bleach ?
    just because it's just a bit more aggressive than old ccleaner

    I have had issues using Bleachbit 4.6.2, none with 4.60 might be the winapp2.ini.
    Deletes all Steam icons, no setting 4.6.2 for "Cached File Extensions" which is unchecked 4.60 .
    Use winapp2.ini in both versions.
    Sorry to but in.
