Hey, I just upgraded to Ventura (13.1) and encountered the problem of all my desktop folders disappearing. I can find them in Finder, but I had difficulty transferring them to my desktop. Where are they and how to retrieve them?

It is always recommended to make a backup of your files or create a system image before you update your macOS to prevent data loss, because you may lose your important data due to the false operation that deletes items on Mac. But you don’t have to panic as well, for you are highly likely to recover your data if you haven’t made any changes to your lost files or folders.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac is a great helper that can recover disappearing desktop folder after updating to Ventura. It can also restore Mac desktop files and drive icons.
