I'm using Gnome Shell and have the desktop turned off. So there are no icons and it's not clickable except for the right click which offers to change my wallpaper. There's still a folder for the desktop in my home folder which is now serving no purpose. How can I get rid of it?
I tried changing ~/config/user-dirs.dir
and /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults
to not include the desktop but the folder remains there after a reboot.
