This problem can be solved by simply not storing anything in the home directory. Kepp your files in a separate directory like /data or /files and leave home directory for configs.
Storing your files in /home is also bad because usually /home uses Linux-specific filesystem and you won't be able to access your files from Windows. Storing files in NTFS partition solves this problem.
