I use bleachbit to clean (deep scan) my home directory:

bleachbit -c --preset

But I want to use bleachbit to clean my other mounted drives like /media/device1 and specific folders /home/eka/dir/dir1. How can I do this in bleachbit?

As of BleachBit 2.0, deep scan defaults to the home user directory. There is not a way in the GUI to change it, but I think this will work

Copy the deepscan.xml that came with BleachBit to ~/.config/bleachbit/cleaners

Change id="deepscan" to id="mydeepscan"

Add the attribute path="/media/device1" to each <action> element

Then a new DeepScan option will show up, and you can select it.

You may also want to change the <label> elements too.

it didn't worked. I went and open deepscan.xml in ~/.config/bleachbit/cleaners then changed cleaner id="mydeepscan" then added the path attribute to every action element <action path="/media/device1" command="delete" search="deep" regex=".[Bb][Aa][Kk]$" cache="false"/>. Then I tried to deepclean. it still shows the home directory on preview
