Or will it wear out the emmc drive?
Probably not. If you are running low on storage space, just reflash it with a new PureOS image.
Uh, what?
There are better approaches to dealing with low storage space than reimaging a computer.
As for
It will wear out the emmc faster than not using it, but that doesn’t automatically mean it is a bad idea. It would be more about whether or not your threat model necessitates a tool like this or not and whether that tradeoff of reduced lifespan is worth it.

Sure, it is merely a suggestion on the assumption that the OP wants to clear up disk space using Bleachbit.
I am using Stacer to clear out garbage. I think @dos commented in an earlier thread that it doesn’t seem to be doing anything bad.
That’s a bit like killing a fly with an elephant gun. There are many ways to clear things up. Flatpak eats up a ton of space with temp files and such.

I understand, which is why I proposed a solution. Feel free to provide others to this thread if you know of them.
Hey, that fly had it coming.
