well, now that you mention it, nothing wrong with that. as long as he
does not still get a 'too man files' error.

i was just following with op's entering plugin directory to do find/rm.

i believe the main thing he needs to do is clean them up on a regular
bases.

i believe biggest part of problem is that gnome-player does not clean
up files, as it is acting like ms explorer creating cache files.

not using gnome-player, much less gnome, i also wonder why the directories
and files are being created. sounds like gnome-player is creating something
so that it can play various files.

what is even more interesting is fact that in mtools, you have 'mdeltree'
to recursively delete a directory. :)
