    Cross on Desktop Icons

    Hi all,

    I have just got a Dell Inspiron 3910 with Windows 11.

    Some of my desktop icons have a white cross in a red circle on them instead on the white square with the blue arrow.

    Can someone give me a step by step guide on how to fix this (I am not an IT expert)

    Red cross on desktop files and folders

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for your response!

    The red crosses do have a circle around them; I've attached a screenshot of my desktop as well. I'm not sure if I'm connected to any network drives, I don't even know what those are.

    I tried the steps for disconnecting any network drives, but again the same thing's happening, when I click "My PC" the bar on the top keeps loading forever (green bar) and I can't do anything about it.

    I've already unsynced my OneDrive, but for some reason, some apps are still synced with OneDrive because I can still see the icon when those apps are open (like the Windows Photos app). But I'll try disabling or uninstalling it as well.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

    Files with red cross

    All the files that I created recently have a red cross on them. This refers to different formats (Excel, World, PowerPoint). What is it and how to get rid of this red cross? Thank you.
