Hi,

I am with OS 15.2/KDE and a very strange thing happened to me: all files (not the sub-folders, but the files in them) of my desktop folder were deleted without that I know why... ... I know that during this session my mouse began to be defective, a right click produced a double-click, but that shouldn't be able to produce such a command, isn't it?

Is there anything in the trash? Was some kind of file browser like dolphin running? Could it be that some phantom mouse click(s) sent everything to the trash, and then the desktop just created some new/empty folders as it might do when used for the first time.
