@Harry: The folders don't always show up for me because my unity search
results for the same query are often inconsistent (see bug 810823). Are
you seeing a Files & Folders section at all (what if you create a file
called ~/downloads.txt)?


Here's more formal steps.

Load up a natty LiveCD
Search "down" and get the Downloads folder
Delete the ~/Downloads folder from nautilus
Search "doc" (workaround bug 810823)
Search "down" and the Downloads folder is still there!

You shouldn't have to do anything other than delete a folder from
nautilus to make it stop showing in your results. That's how it works
for any other file.


I tried applying updates to the LiveCD, but I don't have enough memory. However, I've updated unity (dpkg -l output changes from 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 to 3.8.16-0ubuntu1-natty1) and run setsid unity to restart unity. The above steps still show the Downloads folder.

Title:
  The files lens includes folders that don't exist

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in Zeitgeist Framework:
  Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  The first thing I do after I install ubuntu is "cd ~; rmdir *" to
  remove the folders that I don't use. (I already have analogs in
  another partition that I mount as ~/data.)

  However, these folders (~/Downloads, ~/Documents, ~/Pictures,
  ~/Videos) show up in the Dash's search results even though the folders
  don't exist.  I see these ghost folders in "Top Results" when
  searching by invoking the dash, using "Find Files", or using "Files &
  Folders".

  I tried clearing my zeitgeist history:
  rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
  zeitgeist-daemon --replace

  But these folders still show up.
