can I recreate my original user folder and desktop folder?

This is somewhat embarrassing. I failed to take the necessary precautions, such as setting a restore point, before making changes while trying to backup to OneDrive.

During the process I wanted to relocate my user desktop folder from OneDrive to the C: drive. This has changed my user profile folder which now shows as a Desktop icon with all the user folders and desktop items in the one folder. All user folders now appear on the desktop.

Is there a way I can recreate my original user folder and desktop folder or am I going to have to reset/restore windows?

Very grateful for any help
