Once you've removed the directory, when xdg-user-dirs-update is run a second time (i.e. on next login) we should notice that its not there and remap the setting for that directory type to $home. Can you try something like grep VIDEOS ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs which should print: XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos" (or something) Then remove ~/Videos and run xdg-user-dirs-update. What happens to the user-dirs.dir file? Does it not now have: XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl@xxxxxxxxxx alla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx He's an unconventional bohemian boxer from a doomed world.
