I guess I will reinstall xdg-user-dirs from synaptic. >>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.<< Opened /home and clicked on the folder that I wanted to delete, and then hit the delete key and the folders were automatically repopulated. ( they instantly came right back ) >>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?

There is no bug. Probably something's wrong with your system or configuration.<< I am starting to wonder if I need to do the Dan Younquist method and nuke and pave AGAIN and do a MINIMAL XFCE install, and then install TDE again? Or do you think that i'm okay? I installed TDE by first running the Debian 11 mini iso installed LXQT then installed TDE and then purged LXQT from the system once I got into TDE using sudo apt-get purge lxqt* Thinking that LXQT was the problem.
