[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1721493, member: 318059"] @Sly... Thanks for your help...:Cool: That was no Google foo, I don't use Google. I used [URL="https://duckduckgo.com/"]DuckDuckGo[/URL], seems better for technical searches. I crossed my finger and with your suggestion, ran this command: [CODE]Machine-name:folders UID$ sudo rm -iR d2[/CODE] "i" for confirming deletion, didn't want to blow away the whole system by accident. After entering the password, it took awhile, lot of "y" and "Enter", the command deleted everything. Logged back in with the account in question and voila, everything works as it should including the performance is back. While user data had been backed up, deleting the temporary and cache files did not delete user data. In retrospect, duh, but it does not hurt to back up files... Based on my research and what I've seen on my system, the subfolder named "zz" is the template for users' temporary and cache files. Corrupted folders can be deleted as described above and new ones will be created when the user logs on the first time. Sweet.... if I am right...;);) [/QUOTE]
