The only way I can start RapidMiner is by deleting the .RapidMiner folder

I am currently using Ubuntu 20. Whenever I want to start RapidMiner, I have to erase the .RapidMiner folder in my home directory. I have tried editing my etc/environment, I tried sudo chmod +x, and I have tried erasing the .lock/.lck files. None of these have helped. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
