SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.

this is on a fresh install that i did 2 days ago.
firstly, the software updated and made me restart twice which was weird.
anyways, i saw for the first time, folders which are generally in the "home"
directory on the desktop. i deleted a folder, say videos and checked that they
had gone from home folder itself.
the problem is, when i check Desktop folder from dolphin, it says no data but
on the desktop itself there are folders of home.
if i right click on these folders on desktop, it says location as "/ (desktop)"
which does not make any sense to me.
to be clear, selected "erase everything" during install and this was a fresh
disk so i didn't configure anything by myself.
i have attached screenshots that i think should be relevant in understanding
the issue. if you need screen recording of this, please let me know.
note, this is not a super critical bug or anything but out of habit after a
fresh install i saw some folders on the desktop and i deleted them only to find
out they get deleted from home directory itself. this is bad UX for new users
IMO
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install kde neon using "remove everything" setting
2. check desktop after updation
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
folders in home directly show on desktop but not in discover desktop folder
EXPECTED RESULT
home folder data should not show up on desktop.
