And a lot of programs (Dolphin, Nautilus, gthumb, eog, etc) have thumbnail
caches, which are not always cleanable from in the application. Luckily,
many of these programs now share the FD.O standard ~/.thumbnails/
directory,  instead of each program doing its own thing.

Although I would argue that .thumbnails/ would be even better if it was
moved into the XDG basedir standard location for cache, usually
~/.cache/
