A few days back I had installed Microsoft-teams from AUR. During that installation, I had opened the Downloads directory in the terminal. But now, that terminal always loads upon startup. I initially thought there might be some problem because of the zsh shell but I uninstalled it, still the problem persists.
My Desktop environment is KDE plasma.
I also checked the auto-startup tab under system settings but nothing regarding the terminal was found.
Can someone give me a headstart as to how to approach and fix the problem? I am unable to figure out which directories or files needed to be checked.

Do you have "Restore previous session" set in the "Desktop session" section of the system settings?

Okay, it was turned on, so I set it to ' start a new session ' and that indeed solved the problem, but I didn't understand why only that specific terminal in that directory loaded up always. Because
1. I closed the terminal, killed all processes, and started the machine, still the terminal loads up.
2. Why not any other program, because when I reboot the machine, some other programs like the chromium browser, etc were also open?
3. Under the 'Desktop Session' tab, there is a 'Default Leave Session' which was set to 'End Current Session'. So under that specific condition, it should kill all the processes, and also as I stated in (1) I had closed the terminal but still it would load upon startup or reboot(both).
Could you please help?

Not sure -- I don't use KDE. I have just seen that problem with sessions being restored before. Maybe a real KDE user has more insight.

Have you looked at your ~/.config/autostart? Maybe there's an entry there. Also perhaps in /etc/xdg/autostart.
