  1. How to make icons diasapear from the desktop properly?


    Hey everyone!

    Firstly, what I mean in the title, is that I am looking for a way to make some apps dissapear from my desktop, but I need to be able to re-apear them later, if I need to.

    So, long story short, I tried making some icons go away from my desktop by using the "properties" menu but then I couldn't find a way to restore them. Is it supposed to be like that or did I do something wrong? Also, is there any other way to clear the desktop from some icons?

  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.
