Windows 10: stretched Windows 10 desktop icons.

Hi there. For the past month, I have been having issues with my laptop as the icons on my desktop have been stretched and I don't know how it happened and how to fix it. I have done multiple searches on google and edge and no one has seemed to have the same issue as me. The issue is that on my desktop the space that the icons individually take-up is very very large compared to that of what it would normally be See reference screenshot for help. I came to ask if there is anyone who knows how to fix this issue. I have refreshed and went into the settings many times and nothing would work. If you do know a way to fix this or someone that mgith, please do let me know. Thank you!

Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
Some people have this and some don't.

Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

 

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.
