Suggestion: Bleachbit abort file lingers - Smaller Wipefree file sizes - show on screen the status and location of the file(s). #122

Old Linux computer often aborts on deep clean and leaves a huge Wipefree file - which I have to find and delete manually.

  1. Smaller Wipefree files (option to define the size) - perhaps leave a level of how 'clean you want' it Total (one file), Mostly (lots of little files) which then get deleted automatically - if the program hangs/aborts - you can go back and delete the files yourself.
  2. Remind the user where the heck the temporary files are located on the screen as part of the output screen output, perhaps even write the filenames on the screen so you know Bleachbit is working, there is a bar at the top but it moves slowly and is small (I am a fan of the spinning hash marks, and slashes ....) You define where the output file is supposed to go in the settings but if the program hangs ......

    It is just a thought.
