These come from xdg-somthing-settings. You can use tde control center -> system settings -> paths to change them. Set the folders you don't like to your home directory, log out and in again, then "rmdir ~/*" to get rid of all those empty folders.

alternative: edit .config/user-dirs.dirs by hand, works just the same :)
