  5. Thank you very much.

  6. Rejin: Fedora doesn’t have localepurge, but BleachBit cleans WAY more locales and works with most Linux distro’s.

  8. Yes. that is also correct but the thing is that some GUI lovers dont want to use this kind of method and i also agree that it’s long process to do that.

    Thanks for sharing it
