About a week ago, I noticed my Mullvad folder on Linux was over 100MB. It only stood out, because I recalled from checking a while ago that it took less than 60MB on a fresh install.

Out of curiosity, I removed Mullvad (Flatpak) and deleted the folder, then reinstalled and on a fresh install it was only 56MB.

I also noticed that the number of files changes from around 108 to 118 files. I know some are the profile files from after first opening, but then after that the number seems to go up and down on occasion.

Looking at the processes, I can see the individual tabs don't ever write to disk directly, but the application itself does write dozens of MB over the course of a longer use session.

So my question is, Is there any documentation that shows what exactly is written to the Mullvad folder and where/when?
