locate updates once a day (on my system at midnight). If the file was
deleted since the last time the locate database was updated then it will
of course still report the file as existing even though you know its
not.  That's why it isn't always safe to rely on locate. If u must use
it update the it's db first by using updatedb, then run locate again.
Sometimes a better solution is to use the find command.
