Where is and what is the "actual" documents folder? I'd just drag the
desktop one to where the actual one is and choose replace when it asks
how to move it. I'm no expert though. If it doesn't work then try
dragging with a right click and select move.

I boot up my laptop this morning only to find my Documents folder
mysteriously sitting on my desktop. Not a shortcut to Documents - the actual
folder. I try moving the contents out of the desktop Documents into the
actual Documents folder, then attempt to delete the desktop version, only to
find doing this is resulting in the deletion of the contents of the actual
Documents folder as well. How can I get the Documents folder off of my
desktop?
