Hey everyone.
I'm in a hurry now, but I will give more details later if needed.
Basically, when you allow the system to show "hidden files" and such, you will notice in your home directory a couple of folders appear, I believe these are used by various programs like gimp and openshot, to keep configuration files and temporary files and such. Well, problem is, you will notice one folder called ".dvdcss" which contains folders with the names of the DVDs you have watched in your system! =S It means that if anyone gets access to my computer even for only 30 seconds, he will be able to know which DVDs I have played!

Also, I have tried running Bleachbit as root, and picked all options (less "free space clean", because it really takes a lot of time and it won't do anything to existing files) and it didn't clean them! It did clean a lot of trash in my system, but it didn't clean those files.

It's a privacy issue, how can we work this out to be more "secure"? Please don't say that "not allowing people near the computer" is a solution. I mean from a technical point of view.
THANKS
