Wow, this bugginess is still around in 16.04. Today after a minor upgrade this offer to change folders came up. I initially declined the offer but when it persisted I accepted and my Download folder with 13 GB of data disappeared - poof - and was replaced with an empty Download folder. Fortunately, after reading the above comments it seemed the data was still around and turned out to be fairly easy to locate. The Download folder was tucked away in Home's .cache folder. A new Download folder had been created, so it was a simple matter to merge the two and everything is now back to normal.

[Bug 209513] Re: After upgrade, Update standard folders to current language threatens to rename your home folder
I believe comment 12 is the key here. The dialogue has a very poor explanation but is trying to do the right thing. After confirming my configuration was similar to comment 12, I proceeded with yes and it all worked fine. I also noticed that my .config/user-dirs.locale contained en-US (my old setting) before accepting the changes and en- GB (the new setting) after accepting. It is simply noticing either old default, manual changes, or defaults for languages that didn't used to have translations are pointing to the wrong place, and now we have a more sensible default - either triggered by user changing the locale or a translations update. In my case it looked like it was trying to rename my Desktop to Downloads. What is really happening is that my downloads location was in fact Desktop (I think this was the old default?), and it simply wanted to give it the proper name. I would guess that if you didn't trigger this by changing language, then your translations have been updated. For example, your English-India pack used to be missing the Music translation so defaulted to /home/user. When the missing translation is filled in, it tries to confirm that the setting is /home/user/Music, fails, and asks you what to do. I think the behavior is desirable in most cases, but the explanation needs massive improvement. The only case I can imagine this being undesirable behavior would be if the user had manually (and deliberately) changed hiis directories from the defaults. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209513 Title: After upgrade, Update standard folders to current language threatens to rename your home folder -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 209513] Re: After upgrade, Update standard folders to current language threatens to rename your home folder
I experienced this problem with Ibex, but without updating. I installed Cinelerra (video editing program) and gave it a folder named video for storage. Now I get a warning that I have booted in another language with an offer to change the video file that I created. All of us seem to be using a video program. Our files are named video or pictures. Are we all using Cinelerra? Did this program somehow manage to change our named storage files to Japanese characters? If so, there is a bug in both Cinelerra and Ubuntu. I think the boot-up screen message is trying to tell me that I have booted in another language (English) and will get my now missing video directory back if I click yes. The language of the warning should give the language we boot in and ask if we want the other files in the same language. Anything else is confusing. I am too inexperienced to convey this information to the bug posts, but I think someone should examine the code of Cinelerra and see if it is the cause of the problem. I am using 64-bit Ibex if that could possibly make a difference. Cinelerra was not on my computer when I used earlier versions of Ubuntu.
