Nautilus manages/show my icons on the desktop, but Dolphin is called when a folder is opened
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Nautilus (nautilus-desktop) manages/shows my icons on the desktop, but whenever I click on a folder found on the desktop, it is Dolphin that is being opened. This is on Ubuntu 18.04, Gnome 3.28.2.
I cannot figure out how to configure Nautilus to open another Nautilus instance when clicking on a folder found on the desktop. Can someone tell me how?
I search through ~/.local and ~/.config for "dolphin" (ignoring case) but no matches. Found nothing in the preferences regarding this issue. strace nautilus-desktop did not help either.

Is it only on the desktop? Tryxdg-open folderand see what program pops up.folderbeing a random folder you have access to. It might be the case thatDolphinis set up as your default file manger.

I don't have a nautilus Desktop at my disposal right now, but what happens if yourightclick->open with? Maybe you haveplasma-systemsettingsinstalled as well? If that's the case, check your defaullt applications there too. Also, make sure, that there actually are folders, and not.desktopentries with a folder icon (by runningls ~/Desktopandls -l ~/Desktop | grep '^d').
