I solved by uninstalling Tracker-Extract:

sudo apt purge tracker-extract

This purges tracker-extract* tracker-miner-fs* and deletes data.

probably not a good idea as it also kills your machine ... here is what I see when running your command The following packages will be REMOVED: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons* nautilus* nautilus-share* tracker-extract* tracker-miner-fs* ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-desktop-minimal* – Scott Stensland Sep 10 '19 at 16:27
