A fresh Ubuntu (16.04.3) installation comes with a home directory ~/ that is filled with the following default folders:

  • Music
  • Videos
  • Pictures
  • Documents
  • Templates
  • ...

From another post, I know that the ~/Templates folder has a special functionality (adding template documents to it will allow you to use these templates when doing right-click, new document anywhere).

The furthermore present ~/Desktop, ~/Public and ~/Downloads directory functionalities are more obvious.

However, about the other directories (~/Documents, ~/Music, ~/Videos, ~/Pictures), I was wondering whether any of those also has a special functionality - or whether it is fine/sensible to just delete them?

S.A.
