I have gotten a lazy way around this, it is not really a fix but it works. Around Feb this year(2021) or march give or take I had the same problem but when I read through the ubuntu community and then others like me who never made a fresh install from 14 lts then to 18 then to 20. I was highly sure that I had missed something ...... being a windows user originally my first instinct was to create a new folder just like was recommended, I did that for a while and it worked . however the system prompted me to upgrade a few times then it worked perfect, all was showing. But after a while I got the same issues again from an upgrade from the main server. Trust me, all I did was right click-create new folder-name it then when it was created and all my desktop folders came back. it is lazy but it works mostly when you have upgraded from previous version
