[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1337724, member: 46727"] The update to Lion from (assuming Snow Leopard) does not remove or delete folders. Also you state "keeps deleting folders". Perhaps you're being confused over where your folders are because Lion "hides" the user Library folder by default. Let's unhide it and see if that resolves your difficulty. Follow me below..... 1. Open your "Terminal application". Applications, Utilities, Terminal.app. 2. When the Terminal.app opens, copy and paste the following information after the $ sign and then press return. chflags nohidden ~/Library/ 3. Log off, and log on again. Your user Library should now be visible again. Check to see if all your folders are back. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
