Re: thumbnails?

There's a post about deleting the older ones here:

The nautilus file manager shows you thumbnails of images, pdf files
etc when you are browsing your directories. But you already know that.
Nautilus also saves a copy of the thumbnails for later, to speed
things up. The thumbnails are stored in your ~/.thumbnails directory.
Over time, thumbnails keep accumulating, since, even if you delete a
file (an image, say), the thumbnail remains. Cleaning this up might
save you some space. It saved me about 650MB!
I found this neat command that you can execute to find and delete
thumbnails that have not been accessed in the last 7 days. Deleting a
thumbnail should not affect anything much, since if Nautilus cannot
find a thumbnail, it will just create one anew.

The command is:
find ~/.thumbnails -type f -atime +7 -exec rm {} \;
