Catalina &The operation can't be completed because the original item for "boo" can't be found

I updated my 2013 MBP and my 2015 iMac to Catalina

The iMac can connect to the MBP and go into files etc. no problem. However with the MBP I can connect, via Finder to the Mac and Downloads. Once I hit the "Downloads" folder I get the message "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "downloads" can't be found


This has only happened since updating to Catalina. I have Googled and tried a number of solutions to no avail.


Help,,,

Thanks

The fastest way for me:

  1. Hold the Option key and right-click the Finder icon in the Dock, then select Relaunch.
  2. Press Option-Command-Escape or choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, then select the Finder and click Relaunch.
