    So I was customizing my computer with pretty icons, and this is the result. I customized all of the desktop icons but the recycling bin, and also various folders.

    I decided that I should log in to an account that I had left empty for a while on this computer and this is what it looks like, a year after I left.

    Desktop and Explorer icons are gone, and some Explorer options are completely missing and unclickable.


    My account with the "Yoshiko Tsushima" name was safe as seen in the first screenshot, but the account in the second screenshot, and all other accounts, have the problem in the second screenshot, which was weird.


    I installed 2 apps before I logged, a startup sound changer that was about 400KB, and an app that I already uninstalled. I wonder if they have anything to do with it.

    :)

    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.
