Image file on desktop get directly deleted
I got my new MacBook Pro last week and transferred my account from my old MacBook Pro (with Catalina) to the new one (with Monterey). Everything worked fine, but:
Any image file (jpg, png) I move to the desktop disappears. This is even the case with Screenshots, they are visible for a half second and then disappear. I changed the folder for screenshots to download, no problem there. But the moment an image file is moved/copied to the desktop it gets deleted. I looked for hidden files, but there are no hidden files on the desktop.
Any ideas/any help would be appreciated!
Deleted as they are in the Trash ?
Have you rebooted more than once since you upgraded ?
Have you done a Safeboot to compare your results?
If you turned on iCloud drive —Desktop & Documents look there.
