- hannasanarion 6y agoThe problem isn't that the folder exists, the problem is that software is being installed in a non-hidden folder in the home directory. That's supposed to be a space for user files, not system software. If anything has to be installed in the home folder for some reason, it is supposed to go into .local, so the user doesn't see it among their documents and photos.
