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.

  • 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".
