I have added an option in the IDE to remove all the dead folders when
gambas starts. i have now also added ~/.cache to the list

But i also made a quick gbs script for everyone.. (attached)

it checks for residual gambas folders in
/tmp/gambas.1000
/run/user/1000/gambas
$HOME/.local.share
$HOME/.cache

checks if the folder number matches a running process ID in /proc/

Lists all orphaned folders that no longer match a live process and offers
to clean up if you want..

PS. i think if your programs use Quit to exit you have more chance of
getting these dead folders as when a program is Quit it does not clean up
after itself like in a normal clean exit.

Like i said i found over 800 folders in ~/.cache the other day :-\

I'd be curious to know if anyone else finds a shockingly large amount of
dead folders, just run the attached gb_gumph script in a terminal.

PPS. the temporary folders in /tmp/gambas.1000/ and /run/user/1000/gambas
don't mean very much as they get destroyed on reboot. If you do find a lot
of stuff in them it's probably due to program using Quit.

This is my output (after about only 2 hours from my last clean) 41 orphans
already.
