'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
|
|
```
