Folders and file created automatically

[Frank-95]

Hello!

I'm using Mint 18.1 with mate.

In my Home folder I have these folders (in my language): Documenti, Musica, Video e Immagini (pictures). Nevertheless, I also have another documents folder (in english), and inside Documenti I have Videos, Pictures and Music (in english). The thing is that I keep my files in "italian" folders, but if I delete the others they are created again at next boot.

Moreover in my music folder and subfolders two more files are created automatically: AlbumArtSmall.jpg and Folder.jpg that are the cover art INSIDE my mp3 files. They also are created anew after I delete it.

Is there any way I can prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

As you can see there are double (Download - Scaricati), (Documents - Documenti) and so on. May it be some kind of program?

[minitux]

the file user-dirs.dirs is set right , try simply to delete the directory in /home in english (Documents, Music, Downloads etc..) and that double in Documenti

[Frank-95]

I did it and after some time I noted they were there again. Don't know why. I mean double Videos, Music and Pictures inside Documents
