Hello,
lots of files with cryptic names keep appearing in my home directory and I don't know why.

It started quite a while ago but now they are created quite often. The look something like this:


The content of these files always looks something like this:

Code: Select all

[KCrash]
exe=#����U
appname=�����U
apppath=P����U
signal=11
pid=35910

They are owned by my user (not root) and only appear in my home director "/home/ben", no where else (as far as I know) and in no subdirectories (as far as I know).

Since contain "KCrash", a KDE program, I thought that they might be created by some crash reporting tool or something, and maybe they can be disabled.

I hope somebody can help me, they've become quite annoying.
Thanks in advance,
koolkdefan

The same situation
Many files with KCrash and zero answers in the internet
I'll try delete these files, i don't think it very important, but why they generated -- it's important

Do you have any tips on deleting them quickly?
They don't seem to match any mattern and I can't select them in Dolphin, so I have to run

Code: Select all

for i in *; do
rm -i "$i"
done

which takes some time
