When I run....  locate gnucash in terminal I get 1,000's of lines.

However, when I navigate to some of them some are empty (even with show all
files checked).

/home/dennis/.local/etc/gnucash/environment
/home/dennis/.local/share/doc/gnucash/ChangeLog.1999
/home/dennis/.local/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/standard-reports/test/test-standard-category-report.scm
/home/dennis/Applications/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/gnucash.mo
/home/dennis/.local/lib/gnucash/scm/ccache/2.0/gnucash/gnc-modules/test/test-gnc-module-scm-init.go
/home/dennis/Applications/libgnucash/tax/us/CMakeFiles/scm-tax-us.dir/DependInfo.cmake
/home/dennis/.local/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-bi-import.so
/home/dennis/.local/include/gnucash/SX-book.h

Here is a few of the directories and files....  each one has numerous.

What can I delete?

dennis at dennisLaptop1:~$ whereis gnucash
