@Bluebellflora does the command from step 2 need to be in the same terminal as the command from step 1? or does it not matter?

    This is how i put the command into the terminal and it just says this... i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. if i delete the electronic arts folder from the documents folder it just comes back right away, i don't even have to launch the game for it to reappear.

      What do you mean it reappears straight away? Do you drag it to the trash or right click and move to trash? The command will not work if there is already an Electronic arts folder in the local Documents folder.
