[ubuntu-za] Pictures folder

[Jan Greeff]

Bruce, then there were a few screenshots that mysteriously found their 
way into the pics folder and I was unable to delete them, until I found 
them somewhere else where I could, now they're deleted but I wish I 
remembered where they were stored because that may be the solution to my 
problem!
