Well, if he removed 20 mbs of files, i'm guessin he didn't do rm -rf /lib
but maybe thats just me assuming that this person is a little smarter than
that.  Plus, usually when i remove files, its leftover downloads, not
things i think i need.

I will admit that the files may or may not be inconsequential, thats not
exactly what i meant.  But in my experience they didn't matter as my
suggested answer stated.
