Are you on your usual workspace/desktop where these icons and wallpaper usually are ?

Re: Missing desktop icons - rokytnji - 12-05-2014
Me in my simple way of thinking. I am just wondering if the hard drive or other gear is failing.
The only things that disappear on me from time to time is my animals/pets.
Anyways
Settings>Settings manager>Desktop>Desktop Icons tab is probably what you are looking for.
I run a clean Desktop myself with only a Conky monitor and run everything else off of the taskbar with drop down arrows.
Even on a 11 inch touchscreen.

One thing he can try if he still has issues is to open a new terminal window by pressing ctrl+alt+T.
In the terminal window paste the following:
Code:
mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bakCode:
cp -r /etc/skel/.config/xfce4 ~/.configRe: Missing desktop icons - N4RPS - 12-09-2014
Hello!
Unlike Windows, Linux (and Linux Lite) supports multiple desktops that can be switched back and forth to on the taskbar. The default is two 'workspaces'.
Perhaps it's all still there, and you just accidentally switched to another desktop, where everything is suddenly 'gone'. I find this feature to be quite annoying, so I disable multiple workspaces - and switching between them - on all my installs...

If all else fails, do a restore point. Just a suggestion.
Re: Missing desktop icons - bitsnpcs - 12-16-2018
I know it is not used on the current releases, because it is no longer developed, but I used SystemBack a few months ago to restore to an earlier restore point, it was very easy to do and worked perfectly solving the problem I had made from experimenting.
I was impressed with it, as I had not restored on Linux before.
