What is the .ecore folder?

I ran the command du -h --max-depth=1 / and just saw the folder .ecore. I would like to know what's it for (can't find this anywhere) and, also, which filetype is "s" (with ls -l the archives show srwx------ 1 root root 0 mar 18 22:40 0). Thanks.

Re: What is the .ecore folder?

s stands for the suid or sgid bit depending on its position.

No real idea about .ecore. I guess you wouldn't ask, if you used one of these.

The .ecore folder is for e17 related settings, I believe.

No, Garns, I don't use any of those packages. Though, I instaled ecore-cvs for one day(errm okay I,m sorry), can it be a leftover of the installation?
So, if this is the case this leads me to another question: how much leftovers can I have and is there any way to look for it?
Perhaps:
ls -Ra / > 1.txt
pacman -Ql > 2.txt
and then
cat 1.txt 2.txt | sort | uniq -iu
Would something like that work? Thanks again.

It is from E17 and it does get left over after uninstall.
