Unity won't open my new project

I’m new here so I may be doing something dumb. That said, I created a new project and designated a folder on my desktop as the path. I created the project. Unity took a minute or so to go through the process (spinning cursor) and then the project was in the list. I click on it and I get an error that the hub cannot open the project because it cannot find the path. I looked in the desktop folder and nothing is in it. Looks like the project was never created in the first place. Any solutions?
