    initial v1  
    44Any program loaded in memory trying to write for example, a log file, will probably create it whenever it needs it.
    55You could either move the contents of the old home into the new one, or, assuming you used the terminal to do this, write a one-line command to rename directories fast enough (I'd recommend the first one).

     7Edit: Just tried out using the terminal, renaming old home to overwrite new one worked. I moved home to homeold, and created a directory using desktop's 'New folder' and it created it on homeold/Desktop (it seems it already has the directory inode's loaded). However, after doing this, a new home/ was created with an empty settings/ directory in it, probably some app (tracker?) was checking it's settings and created it when it was missing.
