Did anybody experienced that?

I have been experiencing the above freezing of Dolphin at Fedora 21 since this summer.
It takes up to a minute to remove a file/directory.
Gwenview demonstrates the same behavior -- takes a while to become active when stared..
Removal of the bookmarks.xml helps indeed,
but this file, together with bookmarks.xml.bak, appears again when woken up from the sleep mode
and has the same size as before deletion,
so I wonder where does it get information and how to remove this information permanently?
