Spotify client is creating folders in my Home

user-removed — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 21:10:29 GMT

Spotify is creating folders when I run it. The names of those folders are "Desktop", "Music", "Videos", "snap"...

I already have those folders, but they are in a different language (PT-BR).

My guess is that Spotify (for some reason) does not use set variables and paths or it's a problem with the Snap packaging - because it creates a "snap" folder (that for some reason, was not named ".snap", to make it hidden).

See the images to understand it better. They are screenshots of Nautilus file explorer, before and after I ran Spotify. Note that I have user folders (but they are in Brazilian Portuguese, and Spotify create those same user folders, but with English names).

Can somebody tell me whether this is Spotify or Snap?

Is there anyway to stop this? It's really annoying...

It's probably snap's fault. The version from Ubuntu Software is a snap package (I guess).

I installed spotify-client from their deb repository, and it didn't create any folders.
