I filter the stuff out when I view my logs so all I see is what I have deleted, not what the applications did. In the event of a restore I want my browser history back. If there is a bit of stuff there that should not have been because I have not used --delete in a few days, then the browsers will just delete them again. It's nothing I need to worry about. I do use an --exclude-file for stuff that I really don't want. Bob
