Home (~/) is now my desktop, how do I unassociate?

[petaloid]

I was moving some files around and for some reason after I restarted my Home folder has become the desktop.

I realised this was because I moved "~/Desktop" somewhere else" and now it was seeing "~" as my desktop.

I moved the Desktop dir back to where it was, inside ~ but I can't get ubuntu to stop seeing ~ as my desktop. I want it to display the contents of ~/Desktop on the desktop, but it keeps displaying ~ instead on the desktop.

Thanks.

Perhaps doing the inverse of this might work :

Also check ~/.config/userdirs.dirs

Thanks, jken146 and ElSunko. I tried editing the userdirs.dir file and it fixed it.
