Edit the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and change the line XDG_VIDEOS_DIR to
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
You may need to restart your session

Ending Nautilus and restarting it was enough for me. No session restart necessary on Fedora 28/Gnome – Thomas Fellinger Jul 11 '18 at 15:40

I had this same problem. I just started my laptop and my Videos folder was gone. I later found my Videos folder in my .gnupg folder after using disk analyser to check my disk usage. Thanks to the fact that I have over 300gb of videos it was on the top of disk usage folders
