Yes. When doing so, make sure no components of Nepomuk are running (ideally perform this after a fresh reboot, before logging in).

I was a bit confused about deleting 'before I had logged in' but I booted to console and logged in as another user, then deleted as root. running a while now, no different, .db at 10Mb, only indexing newly added files.

Sounds like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321796 ? No progress there unfortunately...

Hi guys, thanks for you help. I was getting more than a little frustrated with this problem, so I asked over on opensuse forum, which has more traffic than here, also of course we are all using the same platform so quirks and glitches are potentially easier to reproduce. If you are interested in my progress, please join us over there, at:
