hi Hugo, recently noticed a very large number of {hash}.final files
under the storage folder for Firefox which do not cleanup after themselves.
They are occupying a large amount of disk space unnecessarily.

They all have your name attached, for example,
../storage/default/https+++hugogiraudel.com/cache/morgue
so could you kindly explain why such files should persist?

Thanks very much.

Hey. I’m going to be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about. There is no storage folder in this repository as far as I can tell. Do you have a screenshot or something?

So here's a typical directory listing, but keep in mind, there are thousands
of these things. Do you have any code which generates such .final files?
How and why would they be used, in what context?

There is even more stuff in upper directories with your website cited as origin,
so hopefully you can shed some light on this mystery.

Alright, so this has nothing to do with SJSJ at all. Please move it to https://github.com/HugoGiraudel/hugogiraudel.com.

OK, moved issue to KittyGiraudel/site#33
but hopefully without further deflection :-)
