Hi there,

I am using Deepin 15.4. My setup consists of Deepin on one partition and Windows 10 on another. Between them resides a big data partition, which is shared by them. The folders Documents, Downloads, Videos, Pictures and so on are on the shared data partition and usually I link them by

ln -s /mnt/data/Downloads ~/Downloads

to my home folder. But in Deepin I have now two Downloads folders and can't delete the default one, because Deepin tells me, it's a system folder, which can't be deleted. If deleted, Deepin restores it automatically.

What can I do?

Thanks for your help,
Gem

I think this is the only linux system, which has this. Thats a shame, really love deepin, but without being able to move Pictures, Videos and so on to another partition, I can't use it.
