I find a lot of files with names of the like



.goutputstream-xxxxx


where xxxxx are some alphanumeric characters.



Here is a screenshot of the home folder

Any idea why I should keep these or can I remove and also stop further creation?

Pretty sure it's not ubuntu one - I don't have it here and have the files.



I delete them every now and again, not caused me any issues.



You can run this command in a terminal to delete them all: 



cd && rm .goutputstream-* -v
