------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When you save a file using the Tor Browser, a folder is created;

 "tor-browser_en-US/Browser/.local/share"

 This folder does not exist when first extracting the folder.

 In this folder is the file;

 recently-used.xbel

 and the folder; gvfs-metadata

 The recently-used.xbel file has a list of all the files you downloaded.
 Clearing your downloads in the browser does not clear this file, nor does
 it clear when you close the tor browser.

 The gvfs-metadata folder has two files, a binary and a log file;
 home
 home-abc12345.log

 When deleting the tor browser folder, you will be unable to remove the
 folder because the two files within the gvfs-metadata folder are kept open
 by the gvfs-metadata process. The gvfs-metadata process needs to be killed
 before the gvfs-metadata folder and its contents can be removed.
