Why is bleach used to clean up a crime scene?

I’ve seen this in multiple movies/shows where they just dumb bleach on everything. What does it actually do?
Does it erase things like finger prints?

It ruins biological samples so DNA can’t be used to match. It just becomes “blood stain” instead of “identified person X’s blood stain”.

And it would show up under those special lights so patterns and stuff are all messed up.
