BleachBit Error?

So bleach bit is giving me this error read out.


Exception while running operation 'system': '[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/proc/1082/fd/0''

I’d like to resolve this. Is anyone here familiar with this error?

Even though EOS is “terminal centrict” PLENTY of apps that should NEVER be run from a terminal. BleachBit and Stacer are two such apps. Now that said I would suggest not to ever run BleachBit, too many people do not know what they are doing with it and break their systems. The safer program would be Stacer.

Never had issues with bleachbit. . . .I don’t run it in terminal. I suggest ‘crilglay’ run it as it is. First remove it then reinstall it to see if that helps. If it works I delete files successively until I get down to the least files needed to be clean . . .typically it tells me 0 bytes cleaned or a 4.1k residue left in cache. It cleans most of the major programs that store cached files.
