I run Xubuntu (Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, Kernel 5.15.0-82-generic).

From earlier answers, I tried #XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/ in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file but it did not work.

Also, XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop, and creating an empty file Desktop, did not solve the problem. After the restart, there is again XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME.

Any ideas?

mv $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs.bak and xdg-user-dirs-update login anew. – nobody Sep 07 '23 at 15:56
Thanks. I did not change user-dirs.dirs, it seems that some update did it. And I have forgotten that I used a Croatian word for Desktop during instalation. – Damir Sokcevic Sep 07 '23 at 16:58
Unfortunately, after a few log-ins, the desktop is cluttered again! – Damir Sokcevic Sep 12 '23 at 17:20
