Bug#621581: gvfs metadata has the same privacy implications as recently used files, but no tools to manage it

[Josh Triplett]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.6.4-3
Severity: normal

gvfs stores metadata on accessed files in
~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/* .  This metadata has the same privacy
implications as the recently used files list.  However, unlike the
recently used files list, it does not appear in the UI anywhere, and no
tools seem to exist to manage or clear the information stored there.
