The installation is an upgrade from Kubuntu 20.04 to 20.10. After every logout I lose the path to the desktop and its configuration. It shows the background color, files and panel but not the background image in any of its options. I have created a new user and it works correctly. How can I correct it?

If the new user has it all working correctly, then it is likely some files in your user /home directory are (incorrectly) owned by root.
Having logged in with your username (not the new user you created), open a konsole and type: ls -laR | grep root
(copy and paste the command above)
If it returns just a single entry: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root
Then you don't have any root owned files in your user /home directory, and we can rule that possibility out. However, if you do get a list(ing) of other files, it is probable that is causing your problem; there should be NO root owned files in ones user /home directory.
