I just logged onto my laptop. The music, videos, pictures, public, downloads and files from my home all over my laptop background. The original files are still working. I did a trial with my videos and deleted on my laptop and said the directory couldn't be found. Then I restored it from the bin. It was working again. So I've realised ended making copies of them. How do you remove them? My laptop background looks really cluttered. I've checked: gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs again:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Nothing out of the ordinary.

    I shut my laptop when I was finished with it. I turned it on again and everything was "back to normal".
