Interesting! But …
I went to the directory that you list above and looked. Clearly Junk so I
deleted it. However, on looking around in nearby directories I discovered some
`caches’ that are relevant and that I know I don’t want to delete. Most of what
showed up was too mysterious for me to understand, hence I did not touch what
remained a mystery.
Thanks for the info.
