Home folder has been transformed into an encrypted file

Hi I have a weird problem, I’ve never seen before.

I’m running Linux Mint 20.1.

While running a live USB to try to fix a problem with file permissions on my root folder someone suggested I run >

chmod -R +X .

Now my folder just has two files>

Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop

And a read me that just says>

THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA.From the graphical desktop, click on: "Access Your Private Data"orFrom the command line, run: ecryptfs-mount-private

If I try>

ecryptfs-mount-private

I get>

ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly

Before I ran the chmod command I could see the user folder, although I couldn-t open it.

Any ideas?
