Rename Download Folder

[ornages]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Nautilus Filebrowser.
I renamed my 'Downloads' folder to 'downloads' because it's faster to write without capitals. However, the old 'Downloads' folder keeps coming back everytime I log back in. How can I delete it permanently?
Also I can't figure out how to remove the bookmark in the left panel of Nautilus (Computer->Downloads).

Thank you!

I have never really tried this so I didn't realize that the Downloads directory would keep coming back. One thing you could do though is just make a symbolic link to Downloads:



cd ~
ln -s Downloads downloads



This way you could use either one and it would work.

Do you use Firefox? Actually this is probably browser agnostic. You will need to change the download location to ~/downloads in the preferences of your browser. If you haven't done this already, it is probably just getting recreated each time you download something since ~/downloads is not the same as ~/Downloads.

I have Firefox installed, but I'm using Chromium and in Chromium I already changed the default download location to the new value.

hey great, this removed the bookmark in nautilus! I will check later if it also got rid of the folder comeback thing. Thanks so far!
