I set up a laptop with linux mint cinnamon within the last two weeks, and while trying to install The Sims 4 today I got a message that the hard drive was out of space. I have installed nothing so far except for Steam, and tools to get The Sims 4 running. I see that 131gb is taken up by .ecryptfs and a web search turned up this thread however I used the utility that was suggested with the same result. Then OP says multiple reboots have cleared up the issue. I am on reboot 4 now with no such luck.

Is it safe to delete this? Is it something with timeshifted?

I did the reinstall. I saw the option to encrypt my home directory, but none for full disk encryption. For now I left it unencrypted. Once I figure out how to get the sims 4 to run (the entire point of the endeavor is so my wife can play the sims) I will deal with the encryption.
