For a presentation I had to temprorary clear my Desktop , so I ran
mv Desktop Desktop1
after which desktop was cleared

But after a reboot my HOME directory files started to appear in Desktop I tried to run
mv Desktop1 Desktop
and restarted the PC yet the problem wasn't solved

I also noticed that the Desktop shortcut in Nautilus File manager's side panel too disappeared

enter image description here

How do I fix this?

    $HOME is now your desktop dir because you renamed the "normal" Desktop dir. Check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs if this is true, and change it back. Then restart. – pLumo Feb 15 '21 at 12:49
  • @plumo yes it worked , I changed the directory to which DESKTOP was pointing to – Chidhambararajan NRM Feb 15 '21 at 13:14
