Somehow I seem to have completely deleted the downloads folder from my home folder. I have tried to add a folder and rename it to "downloads" but it stays as unnamed folder and if I try to change it again, it gives me the "Operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)."
I can download to my desktop, but this isn't ideal.
Any thoughts? I'm on an old 2011 macbook pro High Sierra 10.13.6
MacBook Pro 17″, macOS 10.13
