Created attachment 146826 [details] regular home directory photo SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** this is on a fresh install that i did 2 days ago. firstly, the software updated and made me restart twice which was weird. anyways, i saw for the first time, folders which are generally in the "home" directory on the desktop. i deleted a folder, say videos and checked that they had gone from home folder itself. the problem is, when i check Desktop folder from dolphin, it says no data but on the desktop itself there are folders of home. if i right click on these folders on desktop, it says location as "/ (desktop)" which does not make any sense to me. to be clear, selected "erase everything" during install and this was a fresh disk so i didn't configure anything by myself. i have attached screenshots that i think should be relevant in understanding the issue. if you need screen recording of this, please let me know. note, this is not a super critical bug or anything but out of habit after a fresh install i saw some folders on the desktop and i deleted them only to find out they get deleted from home directory itself. this is bad UX for new users IMO STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install kde neon using "remove everything" setting 2. check desktop after updation 3. OBSERVED RESULT folders in home directly show on desktop but not in discover desktop folder EXPECTED RESULT home folder data should not show up on desktop.

why do the same folders have different location in different applications?
Right-click on Desktop > click "Configure Desktop & Wallpaper" menu item > click "Location" item on sidebar What does it show on that page?

Sorry for not responding. That's weird. Still weird. Any chance this issue went away after upgrading? Can you reproduce the issue in Plasma 5.37.4 or later?
