Second, Firefox makes no attempt to delete Adobe Flash ‘cookies’ (aka “Local Shared Objects”) and. For one, even when you delete your browsing history, web form history, recently visited links, and other information within Firefox, much of this information may remain in the sqlite database files, marked as invalid data, but still readable with a simple text editor (eg Kate). At times it is useful to be able to clean a system of such activity information without having to delete the entire user folder or reinstall the system – that is the purpose of kscrubber.Īlso, Firefox handles your private information very poorly. It keeps track of every file you open, copy, move, or delete and stores this information, for no discernible reason, long-term in various temporary and configuration files, not only in the user’s home folder, but also in system folders. KDE4 is the most log-intensive version of KDE to date. (kscrubber may work on other distros as well – just test to be sure nothing is missed due to different file locations.)
Primarily designed to be run on Ubuntu and Arch with a focus on KDE4, kscrubber is a tool for removing and cleaning specific system files, logs, and user files, for the purposes of freeing disk space and also removing recent activity information. You can always adjust it to remove what you like, or you may wish to find a more up to date cleaning solution for KDE. While it probably won’t do any harm, it may be incomplete. It has not been tested with newer versions of KDE or Firefox. Kscrubber is now quite old and is not maintained (as I don’t use KDE anymore).
