    Can confirm. It always seems overly verbose, though. Why not just bin? Or Rubbish? Nobody IRL would ever say “rubbish bin”.

      I guess because ‘bin’ is a shorthand of ‘binary’, that is, the directory where all your executable files reside, so the developers felt a need to clarify that /usr/bin isn’t to be cleaned.

          It’s a Python source with an executable flag set.

          I guess plaintext garbage is big-endian.

        I thought the ‘bin’ folder in program folders was where they put trash for longer than I’d like to admit. >_<
