    Accidentally deleted desktop folder


    I have accidentally deleted my desktop folder. It is now renamed "downloads" and appears twice in file explorer under "this PC". I messed it up when I tried to make all my downloads go to the desktop. I can see it and work with it, but I want the desktop name back. I feel really dumb. Is there a way to get it back?

    :)

    Windows 10 desktop and task bar missing

    While setting up Windows 10 I accidentally deleted the empty desktop and downloads folders. It will not allow me to re-create them so now I cannot add items to the task bar or use the desktop. How can I fix this?

    Thank you for your suggestion, but that still left me with 2 download folders and no desktop folder..... If I could just rename one of the download folders as "desktop" that would make me feel better...but... alas, that does not seem to be an option...
