    How do I remove the Linux icon?


    I do not intend on ever using Linux, I only use my pc for gaming and what not. I can not delete the shortcut, nor can I drag it into the recycle bin.

    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.

    Removing Icons

    Hi,

    Sorry. I should have said that I am using Gnome. My post related to the method for removing all desktop icons. The right click and move to trash method works for any added icons but it doesn't work for the Trash and Home folder icons which are installed as standard. (If you right click on them, you don't get a remover to trash option.)
