Hi,
another option is to compress things you do not need to use very often.
You can compress using xz compression and save a lot of space.
I think this is also handy for making backups. This works nicely for
lots of old pictures, and documents you want to have archived, but that
you may not use for a while. You can always open up the archive and
extract your image/document/whatever if you find you need it.
And also...
sudo apt-get autoremove
removes all the packages that are installed but not needed, though
bleachbit may have done this.
