A Script to Find Corrupted (move/delete/..) PDF Files

No, they are in your /home and system.

  • Snapper snapshots are exactly in the hide read-only directory .snapshots with root permission by default.
  • TimeShift snapshots are in the read-write directory /run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots when opening TimeShift to automatically mount this path.

I think they are created in /proc/* by checkpdf process when executed and stored in your RAM like cache, not your disk.

You can delete corrupted PDF files in /home only, that is your decision.
Do not delete files in /proc and /usr!
