Which version of Windows? Which version of BleachBit? Are you running with admin rights?

The answer to this you can find in BleachBit under "diagnostic information," which you can copy and paste into here.

Found a solution, i had the same issue.
Download PowerRun, add Bleachbits to it and run it from within PowerRun.
It will make it run as trustedinstaller and i got no errors after that
