  1. OneDrive Desktop Icons


    Hello,


    I've been using OneDrive for some time with no issues.


    Yesterday I put all by programs and files onto a new laptop using Windows 10.


    All has gone well and for the first time, although I now have two OneDrive icons on the desktop, when previously I only had one.


    When I set up the laptop I dragged the icons from the program apps list to the screen but the other just "appeared" and shows the OneDrive logo in blue. The other is the OneDrive logo inset with a yellow folder.


    Does Windows automatically copy the icon without my intervention now?


    In File Explorer, there is only one OneDrive folder showing.


    Can I choose which desktop shortcut to use The blue one only or the one with the yellow folder?


    Many thanks


    JP

    :)

  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. OneDrive folder icon changed to plain

    Hi,

    Thank you for replying.

    I understand your concern and suggest you to Unlink OneDrive and run OneDrive setup
    again and check. Here is the steps:


    • Right-click the white OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

      (You might need to click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area to see the
      OneDrive icon.)

    • Click Settings, and then click Unlink.

    • Follow the steps in the Welcome to OneDrive wizard to set up OneDrive.
    Do notify us if the issue still persists and we'll be glad to help.
