Windows 10: Desktop icons turns while automatically

Hello Community,Hope everyone is doing well.I have 2 PCs with Windows 10 20H2 OS installed on both of them. I am also using OneDrive as shared storage between both PCs so as to use the stored data on both PCs whenever required. The OneDrive is configured to take backup of Desktop data of the PC i.e. backup of whatever data is on the Desktop, so whenever I switch from PC-1 to PC-2, some of the icons on the Desktop of PC-2 automatically turns white. I then delete those icons and create new ones. However, when I again switch back to PC-1, its icons turns white! PS: Not all icons turns white, b

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.
