What are the common invisible files in the Linux system, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain for you in detail, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can get something.

In the Linux system, in addition to our common files, there are actually a lot of invisible files, so do you know what common invisible files are? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Configuration files for shell and command-line programs, depending on the application of the specific shell and similar commands used, .bashrc, .vimrc, and .zshrc contain any settings that have been changed about the operating environment of shell, or adjustments have been made to the settings of the command line using tools, such as vim, and deleting these files will return the associated application to its default state.

two。 User profile, usually .profile or .bash _ profile, maintains the user settings of shell, which usually contains PATH environment variables and aliases, PATH environment variables control shell to find the location of executable commands, by adding or modifying PATH, you can change the location of shell commands to find, aliases change the name of the original command, if you delete the .profile file, you can usually find the default version in the / etc/skel directory.

3. Desktop environment settings, files in the home directory hold any customization of the desktop environment, including desktop backgrounds, screen savers, shortcut keys, menu bar and taskbar icons, and anything else that users set for their desktop environment. When you delete this file, the user's environment will revert to the new user environment the next time you log in.

4. The configuration file for the application can be found in .config in Ubuntu, mainly for the settings in the application preferences menu, workspace configuration, and so on.

5. Web browser data files can also be found in Ubuntu .config. Most of these files are cached, including bookmarks, browsing history, locations where Web browsers temporarily store downloaded files or pictures, and so on. Deleting these contents may slow down access to some media websites for the first time.

6. Cache files can also be found in .config in Ubuntu, and if a user's application caches data related only to that user, the home directory is the default place to store that directory, and these caches may contain large amounts of data or only a few lines of code, depending on what the application needs, and if the files are deleted, the application will recreate them as needed.

7. Log files can be found in .config in Ubuntu, and depending on how the developer sets up the application, stored log files may be found in the home directory, however, this is not a common choice.
