    Desktop icons have been removed automatically without deleted. Why?


    Desktop icons have been removed automatically without deleted. My windows version is Windows 11. When I turned on the laptop today. there were no icons or folders except "This PC" and two other software on the desktop. There is no virus notification. I checked. But in "This PC" window, the deleted folders can be visualized. But when I double clicked on those folders, it says "no file location".

    :)

    Removing desktop icons

    I want to remove some Icons from my desktop, but Vista asks for Admin permission to continue (I'm not an admin *Frown Desktop icons have been removed automatically without deleted. Why? :( ).
    It seems that whenever I delete one of these icons from my desktop, it is also removed from all the other user accounts. For example, I deleted the Skype icon from my desktop, and it was then removed from everyone elses as well.
    How can I delete icons from my desktop only, without affecting anyone elses?

    Removing desktop icons

    the icons are located in 'all users' folder somewhere (for example, i see a few shared icons in "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" )

    The only way to fix those, is to remove the icons from there, and place them on to each users desktops manually. an admin may need to do this.

    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.
