            Bug ID: 345729
           Summary: Changing the directory of documents completely wipes
                    out user's home folder
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.2.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_desktoppath
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: danikvassin at gmail.com

After changing my folder paths to another drive, KDE seems to delete everything
in my user home folder, including its own configurations, and renders KDE
absolutely broken

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put new paths for your folders
2. Click apply
3. Watch as all of your home folder data disappears

Actual Results:  
Home folder wiped

Expected Results:  
My home folder intact, with symlinks to the new paths of my data

I have a suspicion that specifically changing the documents path causes this
