I Deleted the ~/.cache/.fr-* files and saved 117GB on a 480GB SSD drive. My system had gone down with less than 500mb in free space after the last view zip file crash and my system would no longer let me log in to my main account (Constant re login attempts). I had to use the log in for fixing the system at the startup prompt and the system came up to Debian not Ubuntu 16.10. I Timeshifted back 2 days to get back to Ubuntu. May need to look for a different file archive program, this is a big drive eater after a crash.

If one logs out, or kills the file-roller process via: kill PID the temp files are left behind.
