    Strange folder appears listed under desktop

    I think you're fine. I think you've just noticed the UsersFilesFolder , a virtual folder ( like Network, This PC, etc. ) that seems to mirror the contents of the user's profile folder.

    Quick Test:
    • In the EXplorer Address bar or a Run dialog, type: shell:UsersFilesFolderEnter
    If that command opens the same folder you juist noticed, everything is fine.

    It's normally always visible when viewing the rooted Desktop in Explorer:

    It has this special icon:

    The icon can be shown or hidden on the Desktop via:
    • Settings >Personalization > Themes and clicking the Desktop icons settings link

    Strange folder appears listed under desktop

    Here are 2 images of 2 different Desktops.
    Does this mean they are both taking up space on the hdd.

    strange file appears on my desktop !

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
