Years ago I vaguely recall moving various folders (Desktop, Download, and a couple others) to new locations (my user acct folder) on my then Mac. I think it was done with some application made to do this, and worked by changing the names of the locations or something similar. I was fine for many years and many computers.
Yesterday I deleted Dropbox (which I hate) after I was assured it would not delete anything on my hard drive. Well it seems to have erased a bunch of things which it was formerly keeping track of (although I careful checked that did not have the subscript to Dropbox that allows it to delete files on my machine when it dates files on its storage. It promised.
Well, somebody didn't get the message and now the folders are gone and I have just the shadow of the folders in my user acct folder.
I have no idea how to recover from this, though I'm sure there's a way. I know it was stupid to move the folders in the first place, and even stupider to trust Dropbox with it's convoluted and ridiculous regulations for quitting Dropbox permanently.
But I would like some help and advice on how to restore from Carbon Copy backups these folders, and, in best case to put them where they originally lived.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
