Suddenly all the folders in "Home" are in my desktop, I don´t know why nor how to remove them without removing the originals.

There should be a setting in your window manager that controls this. It looks like you are using Gnome correct?
If so then this link should help, but it is a bit old. https://www.maketecheasier.com/hide-...-icons-ubuntu/

Check the properties, if it's link you can delete it, or to be on the safe side,move to wastebasket

• Launch a file manager. Make sure that it's pointed to your home directory.
• Look for a folder called "Desktop". From the screen capture, I'm guessing that the only thing you're seeing in your home directory is a folder named "Desktop".
• Try opening the "Desktop" folder in another window. (Right-clicking on the Desktop icon should let you do this.) I'm betting that -- for whatever reason -- everything in $HOME got moved into $HOME/Desktop that you're now displaying in the second file manager window.
• If that's the case, you should be able to drag a folder from one file manager to the other to repopulate your home directory with the contents of "Desktop".
• Once you've moved a few directories and are comfortable with the process, you could highlight several icons in "Desktop" and drag them to the "home" file manager window.

You could also do this by opening the file manager and an xterm:

• Open file manager and make sure it's pointing to $HOME.
• In the xterm, do something like:

As you issue "mv" commands, you should start to see folders re-appearing in file manager window that's displaying your home directory and disappearing from your desktop.

Repeat the process by either dragging icons from the "Desktop" directory back into the file manager displaying your home directory or by issuing the "mv" commands until you've emptied out "Desktop". If you had any files that you wanted on the Desktop -- for example, I sometimes create quick TODO test files on my desktop where they server as reminders -- simply omit those from the move process.

NOTE: in the above I mention (mostly) moving folders/directories back to $HOME. There are some regular files you'll need to move as well (your bash startup/profile files, etc.). Don't forget those. You can issue "ls -a" in that Desktop directory to see what remains to be moved (or if your using the dual file-manager method they should still be seen in the "Desktop" file manager windows as your screen capture shows).

After moving everything back to $HOME, you should probably log out and back in again. If your .bashrc (and any other startup scripts) were missing when you logged in, your environment is not going to be what you expect. Aliases you might have defined won't be defined and other things you were doing upon login won't be defined/performed until you log back in with the scripts in the correct location.

Then you need to think back and try to figure out how everything got dumped onto your desktop.

Good luck...

I seriously doubt your folders all got moved, else you'd likely be having all sorts of other issues as well. BEFORE you go moving folders around, you need to check a setting.

1. Open ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs in a text editor.
2. Find the setting XDG_DESKTOP_DIR and verify it's value is $HOME/Desktop. If not, set it thus. The line should read: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=$HOME/Desktop
3. Log out and back into your GUI.

No DESKTOP folder, all the folders are replicated, if I erase a file in my desktop is automatically deleted in HOME folder....

Ok, then please follow the instructions in my previous post. It sounds like your Desktop folder somehow got moved or deleted, and your desktop manager "fixed" the issue by reassigning the value.

You'll need to recreate your Desktop folder before you change the value. Note, that it is Desktop. Not DESKTOP or desktop.

Ok I did it but when I log in again, the line I modified (XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=$HOME/Desktop) is back again (XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=$HOME/) the world Desktop is deleted.

Please read and change the Desktop path accordingly.

Did you recreate the Desktop folder first?

I missed that step, now it worked perfectly!

Thanks a lot!

Glad you got it working.
