and im not sure why this answer got downvoted as far as im pretty sure the OP just typed su instead of su - or su -l which keeps the standard user configuration instead of fully loading the root environment. And im also pretty sure that the /root directory doesn't contains any Desktop directory...nor .Adobe hidden directory (99% of chance it's his standard user homedir)

well it seems im wrong. Just checked in my shell, just typingsu keep you in my local user directory, but $HOME is defined to /root, so typing cd ~ drives me to /root
