A little late but after the work was done to add this to Lite Cleaner, I found that if you right click on an item in recently used in the Whisker Menu you have options which include "clear recently used." Clicking it clears all the items in recently used.

Hello Coastie,

Thank You for the information, I was not aware of this. It will be good for cleaning the Whisker Menu on its own and means users have more than one option.

I still think it was a good decision on behalf of the team to add the functionality I requested to the Lite Cleaner, it means cleaning of the Whisker Menu can be undertaken as part of a multiple selection of cleaning tasks in a single GUI, which makes cleaning an efficient process.

Thank you friend

Do you think saline-backup might be handy, I use it a lot.

Create backup file 

Install backup file 

Clone partition 

Hello ukbrian,

I have LL as the only OS on its machine and am unfamiliar with managing partitions at this stage.
I think for those people using multiple partitions who are used to managing them saline-backup would be useful, it looks straight forward and efficient in use even to me.

I don't have Google account but I have bookmarked your channel in Firefox so I can watch some more tutorials, thank you for making them they are very useful.

I have a suggestion for Lite Cleaner, an option to empty the "Recently Used" folder in the main menu.

Hi all

Anthony Nordquist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SalineOS
followed a similar path using Debian stable and creating utilities, this was his "Clean" he wrote with Yad.


All his stuff is at https://github.com/SalineOS/SalineOS
He's moved on to Manjaro

Thank you for sharing that ukbrian. I think what we could do is add another column for 'Size' I agree with you somewhat that having the information in the middle of text is not as clear. Cheers

Thanks Dave, I wasn't aware that cookie manager extensions existed.  I've installed the one that looked most promising, EditThisCookie, and I've read the descriptions of others, but they don't seem to provide the facility that CCleaner gives you.  With that, you can permanently protect cookies from selected domains then delete all others periodically.  EditThisCookie lets you "protect" individual cookies by making them read-only, but this only means means that the website that created the cookie will no longer be able to change it’s values.

I still think that a CCleaner type selective cookie cleaner would be a useful addition to Lite Cleaner, but I really don't know whether that is possible, or whether the amount of work involved would be justified.

I totally agree that this would be a great addition to a great program. If you have not used this feature on CCleaner, try it out.  It saves a lot of hassle and is very simple to use.  The cookies used are listed out and you just select them to keep (or let them be discarded normally in the clean).  CCleaner updates leave the selected "save" cookies in place when the update takes place as well.

Hi Chris,

Very familiar with CCleaner, used it since it came out 10+ years ago..
I think it would be useful addition, but I think the Dev's have bigger fish to fry...

Hi bobw,

I can only surmise it will not be a simple job.?
They would 1st have to identify all the cookies,
then have to develop a screen(gui) to show you them,
and then a method to select which to either keep or delete.
Not forgetting, what if you have 2 or more browsers.??

IMHO...
I think there are probably more beneficial core things to do.

Would it be possible to include a selective cooky cleaner in Lite Cleaner, as in the Windows program CCleaner?  That enables you to maintain a list of cookies that will be excluded from the cleaning.  I use Google Chrome as my browser - I can, of course, clear browsing data in Chrome, but it's a blunt instrument that just wipes all cookies.

Hi,
You could always add a Cookie Manager Extension directly in Chrome.??
