Did you execute "Empty Trash" after delete the RSS folder and/or unsubscribe?

Yes. I always empty my trash regularly since I dislike having things sitting around. I also then went in and deleted all of the feeds from the linux "subreddit", including the empty trash bits. I also regularly empty it anytime I delete anything. Automated filters just delete it automatically.

In reply to my last one, no they don't. 'delete' apparently means "move to trash" instead of "actually delete" so I guess I'm going to be forced to delete things randomly then to keep that filfth from filling up my hard drive.
