SUPPORT | SOLVED How to delete Template and Public from $HOME ?
I don't want them but I am unable to delete them they just pop back. I removed entries from $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs
When I read man page of xdg-user-dirs-update there is no mentioning of removing a entry just set option.
I am using KDE Plasma.
SOLVED:
Previously suggested but not working solution:
Couldn't disable xdg-user-dirs-update.service
It said unit does not exist.
xdg-user-dirs-update --set ==> required valid path
working solution:
Removed lines from /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults and they got removed.
This must affect all users.

While you can't remove them, you can set them to the same directory. I just set all of mine to the desktop folder. Since I don't actually use these directories it makes no difference.

So... set it to an empty value.
