Cannot access any folders on my Desktop or Documents using cd

de flag

I have recently been trying to access a folder that was created previously on my 64-bit computer using Ubuntu gotten through WSL. when I use mnt/c it says the file exists, but when I try to go to its actual directory it claims no file or directory exists. I've tried everything under the sun that could be found online as a means of solving it and seem to reach impediment after impediment. Trying to install and use Xming, I get a black screen. Downloading PuTTY through Ubuntu, I get an unable to init server: could not connect connection refused error. I can access my root depository, but that's all I can access. my home depository is completely empty, aside from a couple of hidden files. None of my folders or documents seem to be there, but because I used cd a week ago or documents can be accessed. I'm wondering why it chose to randomly stop now.

You've got some troubleshooting steps to complete, here, and you will need to edit your question to copy and paste their results: * what commands have you run, as what user, from what working directory? * what are the filesystem permissions of the files and directories with which you are interacting? * what user is the owner of the files and directories? * Why are you trying to use PuTTY?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
