Why i can't edit the "path" on Preferences?

It will be difficult for the users when using a hidden folder ("." dot), although ubuntu has nautilus, but there is no setting for the root user.
Anyway, the bleachbit config located in: ~/.config/bleachbit/bleachbit.ini, what do you think?

I tested BleachBit on Ubuntu 16.04 with GTK+ 2.24.30. Whether I was a normal user or root (using sudo python bleachbit.py) I could show hidden files like this

1. Start BleachBit
2. Go to the Preferences
3. Go to the Drives tab
4. Click Add button
5. Right-click
6. Enable Show hidden files

So it seems to work fine here. Did you try right clicking?

@az0 good catch.. 👍
one more again, i found this bleachbit has another shortcut to run "as administrator".
