caja stopped working
In caja, I selected a directory with 1.2 million files. I then tried to move 200,000 to the desktop. The progress window appeared and showed 170,000 files to be moved. Then it stopped changing. After 5 hours of showing the same number, I decided caja had crashed. I used xkill on caja. Then used a different program to spread the files among other directories.
Then I tried to launch caja. Nothing. Apparently, some of caja's hidden state is corrupt preventing it from running.
I tried apt-get reinstall. No change.
I tried apt-get purge followed by apt-get install. No change.
How do I get caja to actually work?
I am currently using nautalis and DiskExplorer in place of caja.
How do I get caja to actually work? Preferably without having to reinstall Ubuntu MATE?
