How to delete folders made by kompare?

I’ve tried sudo chmod a+rwx, chmod 755, and chattr -i on the directory kompare made when I ran it a fewetimes (/run/user/1001/doc/by-app/org.kde.kompare)

It keeps coming back Permission denied

That’s looks like a fuse mount, it should disappear by itself after a while.

How does this bother you ? What are trying to fix ?

What is your system ?

Sorry I forgot to say – I’m running Fedora 44 KDE Plasma workstation.

I had to look up fuse mount points; I never did any networked directories (nor have a network to do so). They contain folders with (~1GB of) pictures I was comparing for duplicates; it’s odd, because I did so with several other directories that don’t appear.

I ran ‘findmnt’ and ‘mount’ and got several partial directory matches with: /run/user/1001 …and… /run/user/1001/doc

The latter dir. did say 'type fuse.portal (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1001,group_id=1001)

The former dir. says ‘tmpfs’ under SOURCE and FSTYPE. I set this system up with the default Btrfs format/volumes if that matters.

Thank you for your help and a great system!

Will those directories disappear along with the duplicated files? One folder’s ~700 MiB, the other ~400. I’m deep cleaning my ‘/home’ folder after a large backup-restore from 2 old systems and found these directories when searching (in Dolphin) for spread-out, duplicated files.

The fuse mount is created by the File Chooser Portal because you’re using the Kompare Flatpak. It’s for the sandbox to access the folders/files you specified. It get cleaned when rebooting and either way isn’t actually taking disk space.

You can consider it like a convoluted symbolic link for sandboxes.

Ahh I see, thank you. In the search I did, ‘Sandbox mounts’ stood out to me too (b/c it mentioned that /run/ directory more explicitly).

Have a good day!
