iMac disappeared folders and documents

Hi,

I have an iMac Sierra Sign version 10.13.3

I newly transferred all contents (my documents, folders, pictures...) from my iMac to an hard disk and restart my iMac. Later I copied an existing folder from the hard disk over to finder/"documents". Then I created new documents and folders in finder/"documents". Yesterday I discovered that my new works and folders have disappeared. I did not save a copy on the hard disk. I know for sure that I saved what I did. I tried without any luck to run a chflags nohidden ~/

empty desktop and documents folders I recently had to erase my iMac's hard drive due to a persistent startup problem. It seems to be working well now, system has been reloaded, files restored, and otherwise fine. But my desktop and documents folders are not showing the files that are in them. They do appear on my laptop and are in the web based iCloud drive. All the right boxes are checked in system preferences. Is there a way to make the files visible?
