      You can search for files by using something like this sudo find / -name "<filename>” Most of the save state files end is ".state" so I think you could do something like sudo find / -name ".state". I don't use the find function that much.

      I personally like to use Locate instead!
      To install Locate type:
      sudo apt-get install locate

      To update the database that Locate uses to find files and directories:
      sudo updatedb

      Now all you have to do is type this to find something:
      locate <filename>

      Example: to look for those ".state" files you would do this:
      locate .state

      The only downside to Locate is that you sometimes have to update the database (sudo updatedb) to make sure you get all the newest files in your search. Updating will also remove newly deleted files.

                @lkmaster Replying to a 2 years old thread will not get you answers for the current version. Please start a new topic and state your problem/question there.
