Windows 10: Cannot delete items from desktop

I am unable to delete items from my desktop. Whether I right click and hit delete, or drag them to the trash, they will be gone for a split second, the pop right back up on the desktop. Occasionally I will get a message that says words to the affect "If you delete this from OneDrive then it will be deleted everywhere." First of all, I am NOT even in the OneDrive folder I HATE ONE DRIVE!! IT CANNOT BE CONFIGURED TO STOP STORING FILES AUTOMATICALLY!!!, then the file I deleted pops back onto the desktop. How do I stop this!?

Deleted icons stay on desktop (not in desktop folder)

I can only suggest that you
1 Add a list of steps you have already taken.
2 Add a comment about restarting the computer. Do the deleted icons disappear then?
2 Add a comment explaining if any Desktop items do delete correctly and whether or not there are any significant differences between those that do delete correctly and those that don't.
3 Add a list of any OS tweaks you have done & any third-party OS-related utilities you have run.

I assume you have already reinstalled your display driver.
I don't see a Repair install as being relevant. Repair Install - TenForumsTutorials

Outlook 2007 Deleted items

Hi there

@Take a guess


on IMAP if you set in the config operations for each account you have the problems with -- Root Folder -->INBOX there should then be a deleted items folder. Restart outlook and when you delete items they should then go to the deleted items folder. Use Empty folder to purge the email.


Outlook 2007 and 2010 will work the same

Step 1 in account config -->change-->advanced choose the last tab and then enter INBOX (in English should be Root Folder in the menu)





Step 2 now do New folder on tab 3 and create Deleted Items on the server for the account





Step 3 move mouse to newly created folder for deleted items - your deleted items should now go into that folder after you restart Outlook. You might have to move the underlined mail etc first and then purge.
