I accidentaly removed ~/.local/share while i wanted to delete just a folder inside this folder. Do I have to reinstall my system? Or is there another way of fixing this?

You can try to recover parts of the deleted file by following http://askubuntu.com/questions/676242/how-to-recover-deleted-files-in-ubuntu-using-live-usb-based-on-filetype and then checking if your system works. – Thijser Oct 31 '16 at 10:26

2AFAIK there's nothing system-critical in ~/.local/share: see Whats the .local folder for in my Home Directory – steeldriver Oct 31 '16 at 11:05

No need for system reinstallation, you might have to redo some personal settings/info, though. E.g. files recently opened. Nothing critical. – FelixJN Oct 31 '16 at 12:07
