[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1287612, member: 181804"] I'm still not certain I'm understanding correctly. Every user account has default folders created by the account template - Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Shared and Sites. The system will "yell" at you if you try to delete those folders, and if they're missing, the system will recreate them. It will also create basic file structures within some folders, including folders for your iTunes music, libraries, iPhoto database, etc. You can Control-click the folders and Get Info to see if they contain any data. Odds are, if it's just recreating the folders, they won't be more than 100k or so. I'd be curious to know if the files are much larger than that once they reappear. [/QUOTE]
