  1. Cannot see any icons on desktop except one


    So, all of the icons disappeared from my desktop. I can still see taskbar. The only icon i can see is some "AI Suite" thing. Whenever i try to drag something from explorer to the desktop it simply disappears. What could be wrong?

    :)

  2. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
