Can anoyone tell me what the folder .wapi belongs to? It is in my home folder and is one of the hidden files-Is it necessary to a certain app and if so which one? Can I delete it? I am trying to clean up! I tried to google it but nothing helpful came up and when I typed it into synaptic to locate it all that it cam up with is Wapiti-the vuln scanner. Any help much appreciated!

If I were you, I probably wouldn't touch it; thinking it contains APIs to something. .wapi, the . in front just states it's a hidden folder.

It's a directory used by mono, see here (http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/cli-policy/ch-mono.html). I asked myself the same question, and googling for an answer I found your question and some pages about this directory and mono applications, so I searched for "wapi mono" and got that result.

Bingo.
Mono uses the ~/.wapi folder to track shared file mutexes. Try running an app like Banshee or Tomboy to see files created in that folder - try running "mono --wapi=hps" to get a human-readable version of the contents
