Found /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf, changed to "enable=False", no change. Found $/.config/user-dirs.dirs, commented out the ones I didn't want, no change. File $/.config/user-dirs.dirs reverted to original on logout/login. Changed all the pointers in $/.config/user-dirs.dirs to "Desktop" so that no other directory would be created, success. Deleted directories stay deleted. File $/.config/user-dirs.dirs not reverting to original form on logout/login. What an immense waste of time. I can understand having the directories created once, when the user is created. This automatic regeneration is utterly pointless and annoying. Sorry to bother y'all with this.
