Subject: Re: autosave (and other always empty directories)

Sorry I wasn't sufficiently clear.

I guess I should have said: There is a subdirectory
in my /home/joe user file _system_ named 'autosave',
rather than having said: "in my user files".

As I originally stated, this 'autosave' subdirectory
"never has anything in it (as nearly as I can tell)."

When I 'cd' into 'autosave' and type: ls -a
the result is a blank, zero, nothing.

'autosave' is a subdirectory within /home/joe

From time to time, I come across other empty subdirectories.
How does one determine which of these apparently
perpetually empty subdirectories can be eliminated?

Thanks,

Joe
