Purging a package does not delete any user configuration. It only deinstalls the program which does something and its *system-wide* configuration. But there is more than one program for the same function. In this case also TDE does care for XDG user directories. What exactly did you do to "delete the folders and the folders still repopulate"? At least you need to change the config file mentioned in my other mails, too. That's possible with a TDE Control Center (TCC) module or with a simple file editor. Both should work to tell your system not to recreate the folders. > I made a folder in > /home called CMsHome.

Much cleaner! Good. You found a solution. But that is nothing to do with the XDG mechanism which automatically creates commonly expected folders for desktop environments (it's not a TDE thing; TDE only supports that). > I hope that this bug is fixed soon to where the user has right to > make choices of what folders they want and dont want and not TDE > decide and force you to have folders that you DON'T want. This is already the cause. There is no bug. Probably something's wrong with your system or configuration. Have you tried to create a valid user-dirs.dirs config file where the directories which you don't want to be created are defined as "$HOME" as has been suggested to you? TDE does respect that (on my system).
