  1. I have a ghost trash can icon on my desktop and I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of it


    Running Win10 Pro ver 22H2 Build 19045.3803 on my laptop connected to two monitors via a dock. Had this issue for a little while now, and while it doesn't hurt anything, it would be nice to clear it.I have a ghost Recycle Bin icon on my left primary monitor, and the real recycle bin is sitting on my other monitor. I've turned off viewing hidden icons, but that does not work. I can't find the icon anywhere else but displayed on the desktop.

    :)

  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.

  3. I have a second "ghost" desktop in Windows 10. I do not know where or when it appeared and cannot get rid of it. How do I get rid of it?

    Recently, a "ghost" desktop has appeared on my computer. It shows a list of a number of website tabs behind my desktop icons. Clicking on the exit "X" does not get rid of it. Nothing seems to get rid of it. Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    Is there a way to remove the trash, computer, and home icons on the desktop in Fedora 13? I like a clean desktop and I don't use those icons.
