the workspace directory is clean and does not contain any hidden files hence .catkin_tools is not present.

No, but:

Workspace:                   /home/usr/Desktop

it's likely there is a .catkin_tools directory in /home/usr/Desktop.

What is the output of ls -al $HOME/Desktop/.catkin_tools?

The rest of the warnings/errors you are getting follow from this. If $HOME/Desktop is the workspace according to catkin_tools, there is no src space (as that would be in $HOME/Desktop/workspace/src).

Edit:

I didn't knew i had it on my desktop, but why should that matter? I can have multiple workspaces, what if desktop is a workspace, I cannot have any other workspace inside it?

Multiple workspaces is completely supported. But you just can't nest workspaces (ie: workspaces inside other workspaces).

If you want to have multiple workspaces, make them siblings or place them in entirely different directories.

It might also be informative to take a look at wiki/catkin/workspaces. Specifically: workspace overlaying.
