Another, lesser possibility is that the folder was made invisible to the finder. Open the desktop folder in your user folder and then use the Invisibles app or some similar app to make invisible items visible.
You can also search for invisible items within finder by adding a "visibility" criteria to the name criteria within search--use the + symbol to add search criteria.
Or, in terminal, type:
cd ~/Desktop ls -a
That will move you to your user's desktop pfolder, then give you a directory listing of all files, hidden or not. It also comes in handy for grabbing music files from an iPod without extra software.
The command line is your friend.
