Libreoffice has incorrect home directory
All Libreoffice apps are not referencing the correct home directory. Instead it creates a folder "173" under ~/snap/libreoffice/173. The Libreoffice apps think this 173 directory is the home directory. Also all .config files are saved in this snap directory instead of the users home directory. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling LibreOffice and there was no change. I have checked permissions of all folders and files for my user directory. I also check the processes, Libreoffice is being run as my user. How can I get LibreOffice to use my users home directory like it did a couple of days ago and stop with this snap directory stuff? It's almost like LibreOffice thinks 173 is the user.
If I try to open a file I get this error.
If I try to open a blank file and save it to my home directory I get this error

You are installing LibreOffice using
snap install libreoffice
and now you don't want that? If yes - the only advice could be: Don't use snap packages, if you don't like it. On Ubuntu you may use:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
followed bysudo apt install libreoffice
to get the most recent fresh LibreOffice packages or download native DEB packages from libreoffice.org directly.Which OS?
Which LibreOffice version?
Permissions on
/home/joe/snap
(or did you even delete that directory)?btw: just installed the snap version myself on Ubuntu 18:04 and the paths shown are the paths valid for the snap package and got nothing to do with what LibreOffice thinks your home directory is. The nature of snap packages is to use snapable/snapaware directories.
