Public bug reported:
sometimes the system uses 11GB of 16GB ram for 10+ gnome-shell processes.
It seemingly occurs as soon as deleting files via the file manager. It occurred
for me when trying to delete 500 files with a total of 700mb but also when just
deleting 200 files totaling around 75mb.
A suggested solution to try
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-trash false
(bug 1876641, mentioned to me in bug 1962357) did not resolve the issue.
