Ticket #10499, comment 4
initial v1 4 4 Any program loaded in memory trying to write for example, a log file, will probably create it whenever it needs it. 5 5 You 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). 6 7 Edit: 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.
