at the moment.

I create temporary directories for working on specific projects, and plan to delete them when I'm done. But I don't often get around to deleting them and (sometimes) I'm not sure if an application is using something in that folder or not. So I end up with a lot of folders in the home and Downloads directories that I never get around to consolidating or deleting.
I could hide them by renaming them with a dot before their names, but if they're needed by an application, it won't see them. So, short of actually cleaning up my file system (ahem) I found a way to hide these folders
without renaming them. (This only hides them in the GUI file manager.)
I don't know how it works, but it does. You create a text file in the home directory (for example) and name it .hidden (with the dot). Then you add single line entries for all the folders you don't normally want to see. (Control+h will still show them.) And that's it. Now they're neatly tucked away, out of sight, but are still seen by applications that need to read and write files from those directories since their name hasn't changed. So far I've hidden 23 folders off my home directory by doing this. And also several folders from my Download directory.
Maybe I'm easily amused, but I like this "trick."
If anyone knows why this works, I would be thankful for an explanation.

I guess I messed up when using the the word "dekstop." I meant the home folder in the file manager.

Okay. I've seen screenshots from people who were so homesick for Windows there were icons all over the desktop.
I seldom use the file manager. I did do some housekeeping a week ago when
I was curious about the size of Downloads. There were several isos I'd copied to the Ventoy stick but hadn't deleted. I also moved a bunch of
odfs to Documents where they belonged.

Sounds like you're a lot more organized than I am. I have a lot of "folders" (directories) that I should clear out, but I'm too lazy to do it. So the .hidden text file trick is nice for me.

Someone needs to explain to me why these folders and general content
need to always be on the _desktop_. Why no /home/user/folder_! or My Documents/Folder? Why does it always need to be right in front of you?

I've only got the Recycle Bin there. I have shortcuts to Downloads and

+1. I don't see how they deal with it. My work PC has thousands of documents regarding a huge variety of products and processes. Without thorough organization in the directory tree, I wouldn't be able to
find anything.
I organize my home PC's for the same reason, even though they don't
have nearly as much stuff on them - they have enough.

I doubt my folders are as complicated as yours are, but I kept a library
of documents I use for teaching. Since I taught both ESL and FSL, those
two are the start folders in My Documents/Work (My Documents/Personal
being reserved for things unrelated to work), and then the folders are separated by competency. The kids think my folders are highly organized
when they watch me go through them on the big screen, but they're sorted
in a logical way, as are my bookmarks. Of course, the kids from the
current generation don't even understand the concept of folders, so impressing them is meaningless.

The most logical place for the Recycle Bin, in my opinion, is the dock itself. With Mint, it's pretty easy to put it there. With Ubuntu and
MacOS, it's there by default. I'm not sure why Microsoft resists putting
in where we all want it to be.
