Given that you can bring Okular closer to sentience in this regard, I recommend
deleting the meta data if the corresponding PDF no longer exists. I will
implement this solution for you between October and November.

This should be done when the main Okular window is closed, but before the
application terminates. (To avoid impacting start-up times for those people who
have thousands of files, on slower disk drives, that can be erased.)

Note: in the Macintosh world things "just work" without user intervention.
Users *don't care* about software and users don't want to learn. Users don't
want to babysit their PDF reader. Users should expect that software
applications will be well-behaved and operate under the principle of least
astonishment. 17 MB was a surprise when I stumbled upon the horde.
