My apologies. I thought (possibly incorrectly) that there is a cosmetic issue with how some items are being displayed on one of your systems and that looking at the desktop/file manager settings might help.
The 'Backups' tool (aka deja dup) has the option (amongst other things) to roll back individual files to a previous state or to recover a file that has been deleted or moved.
As XFCE is the desktop environment for LL and Thunar is the default file manager, I've suggested locations where the user settings may be stored.
Backups would have been useful to check for any file changes in those locations on or around the date the cosmetic issue arose and to restore the older 'working' versions.
I assume from your reply that you don't use Backups so that avenue is not open - though manually inspecting the files might still help and you have the files on the system without the cosmetic issue as a 'control'.
My understanding is that the Package System Repair tool in Lite Tweaks may be useful if there is a problem with the Advanced Package Tool (apt) system so don't think it would help resolve a desktop or file manager settings issue.
