I'm a newbie trying to learn how to manipulate Ubuntu using WSL, and I'm following along step by step with a video. Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong here?

/mnt/c/users/sapph/desktop$ mkdir example
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘example’: No such file or directory
/mnt/c/users/sapph/Desktop$ pwd
/mnt/c/users/sapph/Desktop

I'm simply trying to make a folder called "example" on the desktop.

  What path is that? Are you using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)? Please edit and add this information as well as the output of type -a mkdir and ls -l for the directory.

  I'm using Ubuntu bash shell on Windows 10, when I type "mkdir" to make a folder, it gives me that error. I followed along with the video, where when the instructor creates a directory using "mkdir example" on the desktop, the system creates a folder called "example," which he shows us using the "ls" command. This isn't working for me.

  TBH, to learn about Ubuntu you should either install it (that’s possible alongside Windows as a dual boot!) or at least run it as a Live system from e.g. a pendrive.

  This is strange! But then I don't have much experience with Ubuntu on Windows.
