  2. Resize and rearrange desktop icons with ctrl+shift+(1-0)

    To change your desktop icons from vertical to horizontal, follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on your desktop.
    • Select small icons.

    Once done, try to change again the size and display of your desktop icons using the
    Ctrl+shift+(1-0) mode and check if the same issue persists.

    Let us know how it goes.

  3. 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.

    My Desktop Icons shift to the left edge on a weekly basis

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to get more information regarding the issue that you re facing.

    Does that mean that you customize the icons on the desktop and it will auto arrange to the left side of the desktop?

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to uncheck the option
    Align icons to the Grid
    option. To do so,

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on View.
    • Uncheck Align icons to the Grid option.
    Hope the information helps if the issue still persists, reply with the more information regarding the issue that you are facing. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
