Comment 15 for bug 290024

I came across this also. As a user naively trusting all apps in the Intrepid environment is stuff to trust I launched the System Cleaner directly following an install from Live CD. I assumed it probably cleans away some unneeded files to save some space.
Well as described above most of the components got erased leaving only a command line Linux without the ability to login. So I had to reinstall all over.

I think the System Cleaner should be removed until it is safe for non-experts to run. It can be considered harmful to remove the user's environment without clearly announcing its intention to do so. Not all users may understand what is about to happen when they launch the cleanup.
