[Running Trusty Desktop with Kernel 3.16.0-50-generic #67 on x86_64]
[My box is set up as dual boot - Ubuntu sits along WinXP, which lives in a always mounted ntfs-3g FS]
I have unusual hidden files that in my $HOME
folder (uid 1000). I don't understand what they are or why they are located in $HOME
.
~/.deps/...
with 192 files of type .Po
and .Plo
, all related to HPCUPS.
I didn't recall HPCUPS package dependencies folder being there. Are those files supposed to live there (which would mean, that I had not noticed them in the last few months) or is it the result of an akward install ?
~/.chewing/uhash.dat
containing something that looks like ... well ... something hashed, as in HLsQ
(case, types and number of signs respected).
A www search gives me only very few hits on that one, every last one in Mandarin (a trifle odd), and from what I have been able to infer, it's got to do with either WinOS or with Lx gnome
. I use unity
rather than gnome
and I have not booted WinXP in the past 9 months ...
I need help to determine whether I can safely get rid of those files.
