Seems like it ought to be easy enough, especially
as it's never happened
before, if memory serves me.
It's just that there are some folders I don't ever use, or which I have
already named myself; for example, my folders have always been named in
lower case, but now Konqueror is trying to do my thinking for me, so it
has created duplicate empty folders such as Music, Templates, Videos,
etc., whereas mine are named music, templates, videos, without the upper
case. It doesn't rename my folders, or mess with them, it just adds
folders that I don't need, have never used, and don't want, but whenever
I try to delete them, Konqueror immediately recreates these folders
again.
I don't know how I got it like this, as I set up my system like this back
in about the years 2006-2008, when I was running KDE3. I want to keep
things as I had them. I don't want these duplicates, and don't want just
to surrender and rename all my folders in upper case, because that means
I would have to go searching through my system for changed file paths.
Anybody have a clue how to change this behavior in Konqueror? Thanks for
any help or suggestions!
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 :)

Greetings, Nik!
I believe I know the underlying cause of this behavior, which is that I just
reinstalled my OS. It's been months and months and months, since I've done a
reinstallation, but I had a few nagging issues that wouldn't go away, and I
decided it was time to do a little housecleaning. But I think I probably
forgot about using the TDE control center to manage those paths.
We'll see what happens here. I was pretty sure it couldn't be too hard,
because it's been almost 20 years running my system like this, can't remember
this happening before.
