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.
