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?

edit:

sample of modified path in deepscan.xml

<option id="ds_store">

    <label translate="false">.DS_Store</label>

    <description>Delete the files</description>

    <warning>This option is slow.</warning>

    <action command="delete" search="deep" cache="false" regex="^.DS_Store$" path="/media/device1"/>

 </option>

initial result of python bleachbit.py --preset -c

 deepscans={u'/home/eka': [{'regex': u'\.[Bb][Aa][Kk]$', 'nregex': '', 'cache': False, 'command': u'delete', 'path': u'/home/eka'}

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

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


2. Change id="deepscan" to id="mydeepscan"
   


3. 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.

Update, here is a working, tested example of an option that cleans logs in /var/log instead of in the user home directory. Notice there is an attribute path=


<option id="log">

<label>Log</label>

<description>Delete the logs</description>

<action command="delete" search="deep" cache="false" path="/var/log" regex=".log$"/>
</option>


Please note that this XML goes into a CleanerML .xml file. In my case, I added it to the existing deepscan.xml, but it could go into a new .xml file that is in the right folder.
