    Two blue arrows at top right of icons

    The files under Desktop folder have same issue. I solved problem using below steps.

    • Right click to Desktop folder.
    • Click to Advanced button
    • Unchecked compress contents to save disk spaces. Click Ok, ok and apply
      buttons.

    After these steps, arrows should be disappeared and also you can use below command to clear icon cache.

    • Select Add an Account.
    • Enter a user name and hit Next.

    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    • Check if issue persists.
