Before C left us he asked the question about how to clean up the 'temp' directories which, in his case, consumed a large volume of his disk space. This problem was solved.
But, what - if anything - cleans out, or should clean out, the /.thumbnails directory in /home?
I had forgotten about this until just now and when I looked in this directory it was 23MB big - so, using mc, I deleted the contents (which is what I did in the past).
But is there some automatic way of clearing this directory?
Gwenview has a setting to delete thumbnails on exit.
(The contents of this directory are rather dangerous because every pic/graphic you look at on the web or which is on your system has a thumbnail created in /.thumbnails. And whoever has access to your /home directory can look at what you have been looking at - like all those stimulating and exiting naughty-type pictures - of dogs and cats and fish of course :-) .)
