Accidentally deleted ~/LaunchAgents folder. I know it controls launching items during startup. Not noticing any problems but should I do something?

~/LaunchAgents contains items that the user has asked to run at login. If you're not seeing any problems, don't worry about it. Chances are that folder was empty anyway.

Actually, the directory with a user's launch-agents is ~/Library/LaunchAgents.

That is, it's a sub-directory of the user's "Library" folder, which may be hidden by default.

I agree with @chabig on the outcome: if you don't see a problem, then no harm was done.

If desired, one could make a new LaunchAgents folder within one's Library folder.
