I had trouble with my laptop after updating from 16.04 to 18.04 and re-installed the OS using "something else" so that my files would be preserved. This worked and everything runs fine but I cannot access my files. A terminal window search was able to locate all my files but I seem unable to access or move them. As far as I can tell there is only one user. Any ideas?
P.S. I'm a real newbie.
