    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.

    Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put

    Hi Laurie,

    As per the issue description I understand that you are facing issues with desktop icons.

    I suggest you try the following step in order to arrange the icons.

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on view
    • Check the option auto arrange icons.
    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks.

    What happened to my desktop Icons, everything is gone?

    Program that saves the location of Desktop icons?

    nope. Its really weird and there is no reason it should be happening

    The desktop icon are not even being sorted just randomly placed on my screen as if I had gone down a resolution and then back up.
