Bug Description

Suggestion: Add an option so that when running as root you can clean out ALL trash files on all partitions. Currently, you have no way to use BleachBit to clean out trash in places like /usr/local or /opt if they are separate partitions.

Please just make bleachbit clean out trash can. Even as root and selecting clear system trash will not work.

I don't understand why this is not higher priority, as it seems to be a basic failure, that should not be so hard to put right: Clean trash ONLY cleans the system partition trash, it does not clean trash on any data partitions on the main (sda) harddrive, or trash on any other additional drives (sdb, etc..), although these are recognised by the main system trash.

Do you know a reliable way to list all these trash scans without scanning all folders (which is very slow)?
