Kay-Ro (kayro-d) wrote (last edit ): Re: gnome-shell occupies a lot of ram and blocks system

attached you can find a screenshot of htop after deleting multiple files. The ram usage does not seem to be dependent of the files deleted (no apparent difference between deleting 200 files totaling 75mb and 500 files totaling 700mb)
In this instance there were almost 40 processes of the gnome-shell
running "alt+f2" "r" cleared the used ram but did not reduce the number of gnome-shell processes.

update: deleting the files via terminal does not lead to the same complication of unreasonable ram usage.
