📄 Description

I made a feature request that was liked a while back (https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5337), and they suggested I make a pull request. It took me a long time to get around to it but here it is!

Explanation:
Bleachbit is used to permanently delete files by overwriting the memory. So the most popular feature of Bleachbit is emptying the Trash.

But bleachbit.profile includes disable-common.inc which blacklists ${HOME}/.local/share/Trash so it's not possible to empty the trash with Bleachbit.

These are the two lines i added:

# Necessary for BleachBit to erase Trash contents. 
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/Trash
