PSA: Remember to also check hidden directories you don't even know about for waste of space

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.

Well, that's on mate then. In KDE you could remap to a combo of your choice with ease

@troyunrau KDE wastes too much screen space and too much of my time. It's pretty but inefficient.

All I'm hearing is complaining. It's open source. Fix mate then so it does what you want.

@troyunrau Not complaining, just explaining my choice for a particular desktop and preferences. I realize it's open source and I realize I have the source so if it's severe enough I have the option of modifying it. If only I had infinite time.
