Bleachbit on ubuntu 18.04 delete rotated logs-what does this do?
 
Hi I ran bleachbit on ubuntu 18.04 using the command delete 'rotated logs'-it says on the program that this deletes old system logs-what are these old system logs? does bleachbit delete anything important using this command?

also what i want to know is if the bleachbit command 'rotated logs' deletes any other files that are not system logs, say for example internet browsers files such as firefox/tor browser or files needed to use openvpn? thats what i wish to find out

It deletes rotated logs.
So, what are rotated logs? => What is log rotation

As for whether it's generally safe to use bleachbit or not, I cannot say.
IMO one of the best things about GNU/Linux is that you don't need this sort of "Cleanup" utilities at all.
