Did I ever mention that I hate how often modern software treats your home directory like a waste dump, and never bothers cleaning up after itself?

I've just discovered 2G of random stuff in ~/.local/share/virtualenv. And 8G in ~/.local/share/baloo — and I don't recall ever using that. I'm not going to even talk of ~/.cache/pip and ~/.cache/pre-commit (I guess that's the most misdesigned tool I've ever were forced to use) — but these are at least in the correct top-level directory.

Is it really that hard to implement some cache cleanup?
