Description of the issue:
I have plenty of files need to be downloaded, there was something wrong, I force quit Brave. I turned out Brave created plenty of hidden files named “.com.brave.Browser.****”, these small files totally occupy 20 GB!!! And they are hidden. I finally used CleanMyMac found these hidden files.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Force quit Brave when downloading plenty of files.
Brave creates a lot of hidden files in the download folder.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:
As shown and described above.
Reproduces how often:
Not sure.
Operating System and Brave Version(See the
About Brave
page in the main menu):MacOS 11.1
Brave Version 1.19.88 Chromium: 88.0.4324.96 (Official Build) (arm64)
Additional Information:
It is annoying. At least try to unhide these files, then the users know these files and delete them. Otherwise they are hidden and occupy a lot of “OTHER” storage in Macos.
