Folders in Desktop Disappeared After Changing the Desktop File's Location Where Should I find Them?

[mjay.aniceto2318]

After having a problem deleting volumes in hard drive partitions, I decided to just move folders from one partition to the other to save space. I then noticed that the Desktop folder on 'This PC' takes up 259gb. So I decided to move my Desktop folder's location to a new partition called "New Volume (M: )

After changing the location of my Desktop folder, all folders on my desktop disappeared while shortcuts, and text files remained untouched.

I then checked the drive's free space to see whether the folders on my Desktop got deleted or not. The drive's free space didn't change so technically no folder from my Desktop was deleted.

Now I want to know where all of the files were stored and how to bring them back.

Thanks bro! But I already copied all of them from my OneDrive in the quick access bar. All I have to do now is restore Desktop location to default. But I can't access system volume information. That is now my main issue. Thank you very much though <3

You can search the files supposedly deleted whether they only got accidentally transferred to another folder explaining the drive free space not changing., thus the search tool.
Do you mean the folder " system volume information" ? what would that help with restoring the files?
