#8695: GVFS metadata file contains TBB filename (Debian Linux)

A forensic analysis of the Tor Browser Bundle on Debian Linux showed that
the file ''~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home'' contains the filename of
the Tor Browser Bundle tarball: ''tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.3.25-5
-dev-en-US.tar.gz''.
The same file on my personal Debian system does not contain the tarball
filename, but does contain names of files I have accessed recently or in
the past.
The reports I have read suggest you can delete the contents with no ill
effect. Maybe this is something we should consider?
