I just installed and ran it on MDV 2025.1 and I would say that it is a lot like ccleaner.
Haven't tried sweeper.

BleachBit 0.4.1 released
Version 0.4.1 is a maintenance release of BleachBit, the file and privacy cleaner for Linux. BleachBit aims to be an easy, advanced, and smart way to clean junk including cache, cookies, Internet history, localizations, logs, and temporary files.
Changes
The following changes are included since 0.4.0:
Fixed bug "BleachBit complains loudly if X server is not running" in Ubuntu and Debian.
Fixed bug "Crash if LANG is not set in the environment."
Added new translations: Catalan, Portuguese, Hebrew, Italian, Finnish, German. (Only 38 of 139 strings are translated to Finnish, so you could say this translation is not yet finished.)
Updated French translation.
All reported bugs are fixed.
Download
Download BleachBit now. Installation packages are ready for 19 Linux distributions-versions including CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE, Red Hat, and Ubuntu. |
It cleans around 1GB junk from my "System" via "admin mode". Before shut down I am using it in the User Mode. Cleans up all temps and cashes from Opera, Mozilla, Java, Flash, KDE and many more. |
