HOWTO: Disable "Well-Known Folders" in Fedora

Blecch! I absolutely HATE the xdg (Well-Known Folders) feature because it pollutes the Home Directory with directories I don't use. Furthermore, these are auto-created upon each GUI-Login, so you can't just delete them. The configuration-file adjustment below prevents Fedora from auto-creating the following nuisance subdirectories:

  • Documents
  • Download
  • Music
  • Pictures
  • Public
  • Templates
  • Videos
Syndicate content
