+''lost+found/'' holds files from Dropbox backup that was running from 2020 through maybe 2023?  The Dropbox directory was corrupted or something, and lost+found is the dir where ext4 filesystems put recovered files.  If I recall correctly, it holds very roughly 700GB of files, in many arbitrarily-named subdirs.
+My plan is to keep the ''lost+found'' dir and its data the way it is currently, at least until the new Dropbox backup I began running today on a new 2TB HDD has completed (in who knows how many days or weeks).  Perhaps I'll just keep it forever, as a partial second backup.
 Used regex that lists the top level directories and their subdirectories, excluding hidden ones.
