I previously changed the settings of which folder to save screenshots. Now I want to go back to the default settings, storing it on the desktop. I have read what to do, in Terminal enter:defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Desktop/
then killall SystemUIServer
.
However, even after restarting the laptop, when I make a screenshot or a partial screenshot, I hear the sound of the shot but it doesn't appear on my desktop (or anywhere else). How can I get the screenshots to appear in the default folder?

yourusername
with the username for your account:
