Description, steps to reproduce:

I discovered game settings and game saves in my $HOME, in ~/Documents, and in ~/My Games. Maybe I forgot to look in all places.

While it makes sense in a way (I know have gamesaves from games I've uninstalled, ready to be used again if I ever reinstall them), my home directory is now a mess.

Maybe we should think about implementing something similar to winetricks sandbox (remove all symlinks back to $HOME, roughly speaking).

I would love to be able to set default paths for desktop, documents etc... without having to touch each prefix created.

Asanov's suggestion is not possible. We want to keep the default prefix behavior as possible to avoid breaking wineprefixs and to avoid creating bug that does not exist into wine

As read on IRC:

Terminal output:

 find ${WINEPREFIX:-~/.wine}/drive_c -type l -exec sh -c 'rm "{}"; mkdir "{}"' \;
