    Disabling the Multiple Desktops Icon


    The taskbar in Windows 11 has a multiple-desktops icon. Since I always use only one desktop, I would like to know how to disable this icon. No options are displayed when I right-click on it.

    :)

  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.
