If you exclude the "Wipe" feature, which basically sets all the unused(free) disk space to "0's or "1's"
it's not really removing anything, it's more for security, stop files being recovered, but simplistically.
Then it more or less does the same...

Here they are running side by side, LiteTweaks indicates @ 162MB to clean, Bleachbit @ 220MB

Now run LiteTweaks, all clean, run Bleachbit, @ 54MB to clean.
The main difference is because of "extra" Language/Localisation files.
These are all downloaded during updates & program install, even if your Language/Locale is set, I'm set English/UK
You can see all the language files, like fr, de, it etc

Now you can tweak this in an apt config file, not bothered, it's not worth risking breaking something for such a trivial gain.
