Apparently, Prism Launcher chose to adhere to the idiotic principle of the hidden “trashbin”, .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu. Even though it’s based on QT. This can’t be disabled. It accumulated 139 GB of literal Trash, fully replaceable, over time. Just … why? There’s even an open issue about this, for over a year, referenced multiple times. I guess I have another point on my agenda.

    If you have 4 TB disk, you don’t care until it is getting full.

      I do, because it is the same with a 4 TB disk and 100 GB games as it is with a 256 GB disk and png’s & office stuff.

      I have several 4 and 8 TB disks filled up with various stuff just waiting to be cleaned up. Why do you think I’m preaching about storage space management?

      My dual 10’s are starting to fill up because I don’t move stuff off-site as I should. And then reclaiming space through disk analyser and freeing up reserved space is a life saver.
