[xubuntu-users] Getting rid of goutputstream-files

[Sajan Parikh]

Haven't tried it, but wouldn't something like the following work?

sudo find / -name .goutputstream* -exec rm {} \;

You might have to pipe a yes or y through the beggining if you have a 
crap ton and don't want to confirm each one.

yes | sudo find / -name .goutputstream* -exec rm {} \;
