xdg-user-dirs won't update in linux applications

I'm using Archlinux and I have two users in it. I created the first user when I was starting out with the system and this second is failry recent.

The problem is, I can't access my xdg-user-dirs from other applications (like inkscape's browse window) and file managers that have the xdg-user-dirs on the side pane, to be specific they show /home/firstuser/Documents instead of /home/seconduser/Documents it's like they aren't updated.

But..

When I run $ xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS it displays the correct path (path for logged in or second in user).

Here is a list of directories in the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Thanks!
