That won't work - there are too many files. I ended up running this (while in the /home/ranbir/.cache/gnome-mplayer/plugin dir) find . -type f -name '*' -exec rm -f {} \; It has now been running for 15 minutes, and is still going. Holy shit. I still want to know why these files were created in the first place. I believe they are all jpegs because I was trying to run a backup, and as rsync did it's thing, all I saw were 'jpg' files being backed up from those dirs. In fact, that's how I discovered these dirs in the first place. FYI: I cancelled the backup. I'm none too pleased with gnome-mplayer.
