"SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape" . (File management bug)

So I'm making a program in Python that goes through all of your files in the download folder but when I run it, it says

(SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape).

I use a variable to store the directory and put it in a for loop with the OS library. please help me. (Windows 11, python 3.9.)

I know many people have asked this question and I have gone through all of the answers but none of them works for me, I think the problem I have, sounds similar to others but it actually is very different, so please don't mark this as duplicate. please help :)

Code:

#im trying to make a program that goes through all the files in my downloads folder

import os
from time import sleep


source_dir = "C:\Users\(replace with you'r name to test)\example\Downloads"

with os.scandir(source_dir) as entries:
    for entry in entries:
        print(entry.name)
        sleep(0.35)

I have tried to change the \ with / and with // and with \, but none of the different types work. i have also tried removing the " and also replacing them with ', it didnt work. please help

And if you want to remove desktop.ini from printing just write this code

import os
from time import sleep


source_dir = "C:/Users/DAKSH/Downloads"

for file in os.listdir(source_dir):
    if not (file.endswith('.ini')):
        print(file)
