I got a lot of hidden files and hidden directories in home directory. It was normal because I like to try softwares and most softwares put your configuration in your home directory and they are hidden. For example, if you use xchat, then it will automatically create .xchat2 in your home directory. Imagine you use hundred of softwares, and most of them create their configuration in your home directory, you will got a lot of junk files. So.............

rm -rf ~/.*

Is it safe to do so? Will it make all my configuration to become default? I don't mind if my all configuration become default. I just backup the most important programs configuration for me like .mozilla, .gnome, .bashrc.

Thank you.

hmm.... interesting.... i wouldn't do that. i'd be more precise as i don't think you're wanting to be deleting some de/wm specific files. i mean, for instance you're .kde folder. even if deleting that didn't hurt anything, do you really want to go about redoing something like filetype/application associations? but, i dunno if it will do stuff like make it impossible for you to access your home directory or login or whatever. again, i, myself, would be more specific in what i delete.

you could also simply create a new, fresh account, and then move all your documents (and some select configs) over to it...

=)

Also, Don't try to move your /.home directory either!!
As this will cause some breaking of symlinks! and KDE or your progs might not work at all...........

Thank's guys!!!!!

Tommorow I will install Slackware. After that I m not gonna try unnecessary softwares or programs. If I use any software, I will see what config it will make. So if I m not gonna use this software regularly, I will delete the configuration. After tried many softwares, I think I only need to use couples of softwares. So my task will become much easier.
