Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
I copied a large file from one partition to another using Nautilus, but I cancelled the copy before it completed. There are incomplete copies (.goutputstream
(I actually copied the same file many times because I was testing Bug #553256 so I have 13 of these files totalling 4.6 GB!)
This issue is mentioned in this 2009 mailinglist post:

Please have a look at bug #984785.
We believe that the .goutput files are to do with lightdm, so your experience is interesting. Can you remember if, when you cancelled your copies, you logged out, restarted or crashed?
