first time I have this issue and I do not understand why... When I want to create a catkin workspace, I create a new directory and do catkin_make or catkin init and actually the workspace is always my home directory not the new workspace I have created. And thus a build and devel directories are created on my home directory as well. Do you know what I am missing here? Thank you very much for your help

emeric@emeric-desktop:~$ cd catkin_planning_ws/
emeric@emeric-desktop:~/catkin_planning_ws$ ls
src
emeric@emeric-desktop:~/catkin_planning_ws$ catkin init
Catkin workspace `/home/emeric` is already initialized. No action taken.

I met the exactly the same problem and here is the solution：

1. cd  #go to home dir
2. ls -la | grep catkin  #cheak if there is a dir named *.catkin_tools*, that's the problem!!!
3. rm -r .catkin_tools

Done! Hope this works for your case too.
