Hi, new to linux.
I was trying to figure out a way to add a shortcut of the downloads folder to the tasbar so I was moving stuff around and somehow this happened.

Whenever I click downloads on the side panel that message pops up. I can still access the downloads folder by going to the home folder or the menu shorcut I placed under places, but is there anyway to fix this?
Edit: I restarted my computer and now the downloads folder isn't there anymore on the side panel. http://imgur.com/IecQVmB
Edit2: I fixed it by editing user-dirs.dir. I pressed Crtl+H to show hidden files then I went to /.config folder and edited that file. I added "Downloads" back to where it shows XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/". http://i.imgur.com/rQVUscq.png I got the solution from post 6 in this thread. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=66061

Re: Downloads folder path changed
Try--right Click on Menu/Preferences/Places tab. Select New, Name it Downloads, click the folder icon there and point the path to the Downloads Folder.
