Desktop folders duplicated EVERYTHING - all folders are within every folder! In opening one of desktop folders (after I'd thought I' organized everything by creating new folders for different topics), ALL folders now have all the other folders inside. Not sure how to fix this. Looked on your site and someone in 2022 reported same issue but I didn't see the resolution. OS X EL CAPITAN vs 10.11.6 Thanks
