Purging files in Linux installation

My Linux installation has a series of folders under Home/.zoom, I would like to know which files there may be safely purged, and if there is any application function for purging them.

In the `~/.zoom` folder on Linux, Zoom stores configuration files, logs, and cached data. It is generally safe to delete cache files and logs to free up space, but avoid removing essential configuration files. You can delete files in subdirectories like `data` (cache) and `logs` without affecting Zoom’s functionality. However, Zoom does not provide a built-in option to purge these files. If unsure, create a backup before deleting any files to avoid losing necessary settings or data. Geometry Dash
