Windows 11 - accidentally deleted icon from task bar Corner, can't get it back

Hi BraydonMoloney, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

Have you accidentally deleted it via the "Remove icon" option? If so, the icon may only be removed from the system tray. Can you try these steps?

- Press the Windows key + R then enter this

shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}

- If you're still able to see Bluetooth in the list, set it to "Show icon and notifications"

If that didn't work, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices > More Bluetooth Settings > Check the option "Show Bluetooth icon in the notification area"

 

Windows 7 Snipping Tool / (Screen Shots-Capture)

1. In the Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab first check ( tick ) the Show hidden files, folders and Drives and then Apply.
2. Now navigate to C:\ Program Data \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Program.
   
3. Inside this Program folder , you will find the 'Accessories' folder.
4. Drag and drop the Accessories Folder on your Start Menu or All programs.

Did this work ?

If all works again i suggest to go back to Step 1 and re-select Don`t show hidden files. folders and Drives then Apply. so you don`t accidentally delete some of these.

 

How can i restore my accidental deletion of about 1/2 of my desktop icons

Hi,

Since your desktop icons are not in the Recycle Bin, we suggest that you create a new shortcut for your preferred applications. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click on your desktop > New > Shortcut.
• Enter the path of the application you want to create an icon or select Browse... > click OK > Next > Finish.

Note: If the deleted icons on your desktops are not shortcuts, but are saved files, it may be possible to retrieve them if they are saved in OneDrive.
