I will start doing that. It just sucks I never noticed this earlier.

This is what has me most baffled. Why did gnome-mplayer created
hundreds of thousands of jpegs in those dirs? I certainly didn't ask it
to do that (certainly not on purpose, but then I don't know who I could
have done that by mistake).
Incidentally, the onle cache option I see for gnome-mplayer is for
streaming, and that's only the initial buffer before beginning play
back.
If this is default behaviour, the damn app should have an option
built-in for clearing out the cache dirs.
BTW, I'm running this command, as suggested by an earlier poster:
find . -type f -exec rm -fv '{}' +
It's been running just about all day. There appears to be no end in
sight. There has got to be a faster way to do this. Can't I create a
sparse file or swap file or something, over that location and wipe it
clean that way?
