 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?
