See if you can create a new directory beside Desktop for starters.
If that works, then see if you can make a full copy of Desktop to this
new directory. See man cp for howto.
Use rsync, it's much easier as it verifies the data is copied correctly.
rsync -rv --progress '{SourceDir}' '{Destination}'
Example, assuming I know which Desktop you're talking about, this:
rsync -rv --progress '/home/michael/Desktop' '/home/michael/mydata'
will create a copy of Desktop here:
'/home/michael/mydata/Desktop'
