DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING!

This is a common problem.

There is a config file that tells your desktop (all desktops,
normally) what folders to use for Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.
This has probably been damaged or removed, in which case, a new one is
sometimes created automatically. Just edit it and tell it where the
folders are.
