I think the best idea is to store non-essential files (that can be deleted without harm) in XDG_CACHE_HOME, as required by the XDG Base Directory specification. See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html For systems that do not have this environment variable by default, can use ${HOME}/.cache. This will help reduce the number of directories in the user's home directory.
