Bug Description
Binary package hint: computer-janitor
I opened the Computer Janitor and it is not going to be 100% clear to a less experienced user what the tool is planning on doing. I have one item listed: "Adobe-flashplugin" under the "Unused" column, and then there is a button which says "Do selected tasks."
What exactly is the "selected task" that it is going to do? Is it going to remove that plugin? If so, the column should probably be "Unused items to remove". The "Recommended" title is even less unclear. I assume is meant to be "Recommended for removal", in which case, we should say that.
I have no clue what might appear in the optimize column, and if it did appear there, what action the tool is going to perform on something listed in that column.
Lastly, Help provides no help.

I had the same first impression, but when you click on the name of a task it gives you a good explanation of why it is available.
