No.  I take it that you haven't installed or run Bleachbit yet or you wouldn't be asking.  All it does is get rid of cruft, temp files, and such, including emptying caches and "vacuuming" databases.  (AFAIK, the standard term for that is "compressing," and I've no idea why they didn't use it.)  Still, it can recover a remarkable amount of space if used properly.

Thanks for the clarification Joe. Instead of yum, I went to read about it in the "Add/remove Programs" and that bit of writing sounded like it might have done what I had assumed. Again, thanks for this.
