I just logged onto my laptop. The music, videos, pictures, public, downloads and files from my home all over my laptop background. The original files are still working. I did a trial with my videos and deleted on my laptop and said the directory couldn't be found. Then I restored it from the bin. It was working again. So I've realised ended making copies of them. How do you remove them? My laptop background looks really cluttered. I've checked: gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs again:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Nothing out of the ordinary.

  • Do you have a Desktop directory on the background in addition to the other files from your home directory? – Nonny Moose Aug 01 '20 at 20:07

  • I was on that to move a missing desktop file earlier. I came back and checked. Nothing had changed. – SeemsToBeStuck Aug 01 '20 at 20:15

This may solve your issue:

  • Select all files in your desktop background,
  • Cut them,
  • Open a file browser and go to home,
  • Paste them

I shut my laptop when I was finished with it. I turned it on again and everything was "back to normal".
