Re: Deleted folders from /home/user/

Open a terminal.

Code:
cd # Make sure you are in $HOME
mkdir <mynewdirectory>
Repeat the 'mkdir' as required.

No 'integration' with Nautilus is required. Nautilus just shows you whatever is there.

Re: Deleted folders from /home/user/

Yes, without knowing what you've deleted, "mkdir ~/folder_name" is all we can really suggest.

Most important folders should be automatically recreated when you log in. Otherwise, have a look in /etc/skel, which contains the default files and folders that are put into a new home directory when a new user is created. Also make sure that the folders listed in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs exist.

If they're your own folders, you'll just have to rely on your memory...

Re: Deleted folders from /home/user/

Hello,

I would think the easy thing to do is delete user and add them back in.
That way you would get all the directories and files needed by a user.

if you use mkdir you also going to need to do a chmod -R user:user_grp user
