    My user profile became "Desktop" after moving Desktop from my disk D to disk C


    Hello, I found out my Desktop folder was on my disk D so I opened its properties and change the location to C:/Users/Kasi3 which was my profile's name. Then two pop-ups appear to confirm moving but I didn't read them correctly. Now when I go to the C:/Users folder, my "Kasi" account is now named as "Desktop" with the desktop icon as well. In the "Share" tab I can see its real name, but it is still the Desktop in other ways. Also all folders like "Download", "Favorites", hidden AppData etc appeared on my real desktop. I am not sure what did I wrong, but I am here for the help, please. How can I

    :)
