It sounds like you may have logged into another user account?
Another possibility is that you are using iCloud Drive. If that's the case, try this:
Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Turn off Desktop and Documents
When you turn off Desktop and Documents, your files stay in iCloud Drive and a new folder is created on your Mac. You can move files from iCloud Drive to your Mac as you need them, or select all of your files and drag them to the place you want to keep them.
- From your Mac, go to Apple menu
> System Preferences > iCloud. - Next to iCloud Drive, click Options.
- Deselect Desktop & Documents Folders.
- Click Done.
When I opened Preferences and iCloud, Desktop was already deselected.
And I am the only user of this iMac. Hence, could not have logged in as another user.
Any other suggestions?
