Need help using ARK

Since I have extracted my backup files, problem is they are in the wrong folder:

Problem is, they are in the right-hand panel.
The Left panel shows 2 folders that I mistakenly & want to delete, but can't.
Any ideas??

the left panel is showing /home/peter oem ,,,,,and is usually the one you want to keep and your user name should be one of the 2 "oem" or "peter" ,,,like

 vinny@debian:~$ ls /
bin   dev  home        lib    live-build  media  opt   root  sbin  sys  usr  vmlinuz
boot  etc  initrd.img  lib64  lost+found  mnt    proc  run   srv   tmp  var


vinny@debian:~$ ls /home
vinny

the one on the right panel looks odd to me with Home/home/bumpy as the path........It's implying that you have a folder in your home named home with the folder bumpy in it that contains all those files ,,,,which is not the one that you would normally keep ( it's not your home directory ) .

what is your user name on this box ?

Am now having another try extrating my backed up files, but before doing that, I would prefer your expert opinion.

My first attempt this am was a disaster, backed up as Home/home/home/bumpy.
Have deleted all those files. Am now proposing to Root/home/bumpy.

My current Ark display:

What should I enter for Extraction into subfolder? bumpy?
Anxiously await your reply!

Note the checkbox: "Preserve paths when extracting"

If you're extracting it into /home/bumpy, you'd want to uncheck that. Alternately, leave it checked and extract into / and it should follow the paths to /home/bumpy/

Thanks for your quick reply!
Ark reports -cannot have / for extraction location.
Currently have extracted all files again.
Now ready to extract - Dolphin at Root/home/Bumpy.
What do I set "Extract to"
home or Bumpy
Will wait for your reply.
