Yes, you can use a tool like bleachbit, stacer or ubuntu cleaner. For flatpaks you can also use the cleaning program flatsweep.

Instead of the Flatpak Version of Bleachbit, You could try the .deb Version. It is in the Repo's. If You want a newer Version, You can download the .deb Version from the Developers Website:

What do You mean? Installing it? When You use the Version in the Repo, You can use it in Gnome Software or use the Terminal Command sudo apt install bleachbit

If You download the .deb File from the Developers Website, you can make a Double-Click on it and then Gnome Software opens, where You have to click on the Install Button. Don't be irritated that Gnome Software opens for that; it is the Install Interface.

Another Option would be to use Gdebi. It is a graphical Tool to install .deb Files. You can install it with the Command sudo apt install gdebi

Or You install the downloaded .deb File in the Terminal. You open the Terminal and type sudo dpkg -i and then the Path to the .deb File with the .deb File Name. Or You make cd and then the Path, press Enter and then sudo dpkg -i and Filename.
