Desktop icons missing after deleting mail account in internet accounts

The icons on my desktop have disappeared. This happened after I deleted a mail account in Inernet Accounts.

How can I get them back?

Try going to System Settings>Desktop & Stage Manager and making sure that for Desktop & Stage Manager>Show Items you have "On Desktop" checked.


I've included a screenshot of what my settings look like. I have icons on my desktop.
