This issue was self fixed by me using the following commands:

  1. open console
  2. cd .config/
  3. cat user-dirs.dirs
  4. mkdir $HOME/Downloads
  5. sudo nano user-dirs.dirs
  6. then look and check to make sure all the folders are filled in, in my case
    XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/ " was labeled as that so, all I needed to do was change it to XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"

This YouTube video aligns with the changes I made
