When linking css document I can usually write /foldername/filename.css and it links, for some reason today it won't work

Usually I just write <link rel="stylesheet" href="/folder-name/file-name.css"> and it works. but today it made me write <link rel="stylesheet" href="User/my-name/desktop/folder-name/file-name.css"> Its not really a problem, but it took me about an hour to figure out that I needed to write the WHOLE address. why has this suddenly changed on me? Im working on a new project so maybe its the way that I saved the folders.

Remove the slash before folder name and try out again:-

<link rel="stylesheet" href="folder-name/file-name.css">

Am assuming the html file you are working on is located on the desktop as its the case with the folder holding your css files.If not so ensure the folder is in the same folder as your html file
