I can not find the User desktop directory in either command line or from file manager. I clicked to unhide hidden files and directories but i still am unable to find the desktop directory it tells me there is no such file or directory at c:/users/(username)/desktop

I am able to find c:/users/public/desktop no problem but my personal desktop i cant find

Thank you
