when try to open desktop folder: /home/asus/Desktop does not exist

[abelito8]

I accidentally moved the desktop folder somewhere and now when I try to access it it reads /home/asus/Desktop does not exist. All the icons are still visible on the desktop but I cannot access them...if I click on any of them it reads Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder /home/asus/Desktop/Official-Final-Programme-19-June-1-1.pdf does not exist. how to restore the filder?

Is this a trick question?
Put it back.

Lacking that, create a directory in the same place, with the same name.

There are ways to search for file system objects.

There are ways to tell the GUI to consider the "desktop" to be located somewhere else too. That is dependent on the GUI used.

Go look for it:
find ~ -type d -name Desktop

What is the output of:


sudo file /home/asus/Desktop

Thank you, it worked, I used the command and found out that I had moved it to Music....I managed to put it back simply by dragging it into the home folder and no TheFu, it was not a tricky question :-) thank you
