In KDE when I create a file in the Home directory it also creates files on the Deskto

Whenever I create An new file in my Home directory In Dolphin it also create the same file on my desktop and on my widget (folder viewer.)
How can I fix this? It worked fine until now, but It just started doing this recently and I don't recall doing any changes to the system.

You should also check SystemSettings>AccountDetails>Paths>DesktopPath, and see where it points to (IIRC, it defaults to /home/<username>/Desktop, but in your case it may point to /home/<username>)

EDIT: Also, judging by your screenshot you don't seem to have a Desktop folder in your home folder, have you deleted it?

yea I have deleted it when It started showing on my desktop. Do you know how to get it back?


P.S: thanks for the replays will take a look later and see if it can get "fixed"

I'd suggest the following steps to fix the issue:

1. Create the Desktop directory, you can do this in dolphin or start konsole and run mkdir ~/Desktop

2. (optional) into the Desktop folder, create a text file named '.directory' (notice the dot) file with the contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=user-desktop
Type=Directory
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=desktop_kdebase-runtime

(this will give the folder a specific icon)

3. Go to SystemSettings>AccountDetails>Paths and set "Desktop Path" to /home/<username>/Desktop (don't move files to this folder if asked to).

4. Now do what Teunis suggested, and go into the "Folder view"- widget settings and set folder to be shown as Desktop (you'll need to set the same in your "desktop" settings, since you seem to be using a "Folder View" desktop, as the icons are showing twice...on the desktop and on the widget...which is sort of redundant)

After that your desktop (and the widget) should show the ~/Desktop folder and not your $HOME
