I don't know why it doesn't work just to move it back.

Here's what I would try:

Start a terminal window.  You should be in your home directory (type
"pwd" to check).  Do "ls .Trash" to check that the directory
"Desktop" is there.  Make sure you haven't go a new Desktop directory
in your home directory from when you tried to move it back (do
"ls Desktop" to see) - if you have, rename it "mv Desktop Desktop-xxx".
Then move the real Desktop out of the trash: "mv .Trash/Desktop ."
