| dolphin temp files ok to delete? Ususally I delete tmp files without thought, but these tmp files are part of dolphin. rsync'ing last night, saw a lot of entries for /home/user/.kde/tmp-machine_name/dolphin_lots_of_nonsensical_letters/multi-gig_files I'm seeing multi-gig movie files that I haven't actually used in a long time. I believe they're safe to delete, but with dolphin, I'm wary. --

kudos:2 | Move them (rename the folder) into a different place, run Dolphin and see what happens. If nothing - remove.

They're probably preview caches so you get a quick on hover or wherever preview depending on your settings.

In answer to my question, deleting a big swath of files
rm -rfv /home/me/.kde/tmp-machine_name/dolphin*.tmp
resulted in freeing up more than 30gigs of drive space

What KDE version? I'm on KDE 4.9.4 (on Mint 14) and both ~/.kde/tmp-hostname and ~/.kde4/tmp-hostname are symlink to /tmp/kde-brano/ which is empty

And I use dolphin always as my primary and only file manager. |

Interesting, I'll have to check this evening when I get home.
This machine has only kde, and dolphin is the primary file manager.
Some other file manager is called up when I download something in iceweasel, and browse the folder/files through iceweasel's download page.
