In Caja, right click on your Documents folder and select "Properties". In the 
dialog window that opens, click on the icon at the top right. A file manager 
will open, where you can navigate to and select a new icon. I'm not using the 
default icon theme, so I'm going off memory as to what the Documents icon looks 
like, but '/usr/share/icons/gnome-brave/scalable/places/folder-documents.svg' 
might be the one you're looking for. if not, dig around in '/usr/share/icons' 
for the one you want.

I'm not sure how to fix that. You could navigate to Documents and hit Ctrl+D to 
add it to your bookmarks, but it will appear in the sidebar under "Bookmarks" 
instead of "Computer".

Maybe fixing with 'apt purge':

It sounds like you tried uninstalling Caja and adding it again. I'm not 
surprised that this didn't work, because your Caja preferences are stored in 
configuration files, not the caja package. In order to remove Caja and all 
configuration files, the command is 'sudo apt purge caja' rather than 'sudo apt 
remove caja'.

The only difference is that 'apt purge' removes configuration files in addition 
to packages. 'apt purge' does not remove any packages that 'apt remove' 
doesn't, so if you survived 'apt remove' then 'apt purge' should not break your 
system. However, you may lose some of your other user preferences, and I can't 
100% promise that this will even fix your problem.
