Removing Quick Access

Howdee *Tongue

Thanks but I've already gone through that post.

I'm not actually having an issue removing Quick Access. As you can see in my earlier post Quick Access is gone from File Explorer.

The problem I have is that I keep getting that blue star Quick Access icon on my desktop randomly and I also have Quick Access randomly appearing in File Explorer. if I do a refresh (F5) then it goes away.

So do I need to do anything further and if so what? Or do I need to just accept that this is a limitation with removing Quick Access and I need to live with it?

 

How to remove an orphaned icon in quick access?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below settings and check if it helps.

• Press “Windows+E” it will launch Windows Explorer.
• Click on “View” and click on “Options”.
• To restore the default settings, I suggest you to click on “Restore Defaults”.

Also you can remove the icon by logging as “Administrator” Mode and check if it helps.
