Re: desktop folder gone?
Right click on the desktop and select appearance settings.
You will then see at the top of the resulting box folder view and desktop view. Select folder view. A transparent folder will appear but with your home directory. Right click on it and select folder view settings and select the desktop option. The folder will then change to show your desktop icons.
Importantly, when you have done this right click on your desktop and select "lock widgets" which will prevent accidental deletion.

Re: desktop folder gone?
It should be within the "desktop settings" when you right click.
At the top of the pane you will get 2 options :
Desktop - which will put you desktop icons straight on the desktop in the old-fashioned way and
Folder view - which will create the transparent pane that will at first contain your home folder but which you can change with "folder view" settings.
If you are still struggling you can try clicking on the "cashew" and selecting appearance settings then proceeding as suggested.

Re: desktop folder gone?
Create another one by
Right click on Desktop, select Add Widgets
Select Folder View
Click Add Widget
By default it will show your home directory. If you place the cursor on the folder a toolbar will pop up. Select the wrench and the "Show Desktop Folder" if that is what you want to see.
