There is a program called locate that making a database file once a day at
4 am (something like that) and it has all the files in it in the format
of du -a command.
you can run locate {filename} to search for a filename/directory !
the error message is becouse the program itself has ocupide some
resources that made some directory/files in the proc directory (memory)
and then the program delete them.
- it's the same question like: can i delete the huge file on the /proc
director !!!
