I hadn't paid much attention to ~/.thumbnails till I went through the
posts here. Here is what I have:
$> du --exclude=.. -sc ./\.* | sort -g | tail -n 10
24016 ./.openoffice.org2
24044 ./.galeon
61268 ./.mozilla-thunderbird
72768 ./.evolution
81692 ./.java
213608 ./.bcast
372112 ./.mozilla
1050520 ./.thumbnails
12400696 ./.
14369932 total
So my ~/.thumbnails is using 1.1 GB of memory. I am thinking of deleting
this data unless there is some practical use for this. As others have
posted, they do not really any different with or without this data so I
am not sure whether the dir is really useful.
