BleachBit
BleachBit deletes unnecessary files from the system to free
valuable disk space, protect privacy, and remove junk. This software
removes cache, Internet history, temporary files, cookies, and broken
shortcuts.

images), vacuums Firefox databases (to improve performance without
deleting data), and securely shreds arbitrary files.

you want, click preview, and click delete
