+'Downloads` directory always too full of crap?
+Make it a temporary filesystem!
+Everything will be deleted whenever you reboot.
+
+
+```sh
+rm -rf ~/Downloads # Be brave!
+mkdir Downloads
+cp /etc/fstab /tmp/
+echo "tmpfs $HOME/Downloads tmpfs defaults,size=1G 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload # Ignore this if you don't use systemd
+sudo mount -a
+mount | tail -1
+```
