    Windows 11 desktop icon spacing suddenly too small.


    All my windows desktop icons are too close, and I can't read their names, and I can't find a way to fix it, all I know is that I think setting my text size to 225% may have messed it up. Also, I can't upload images for some reason so DM me on discord to see an image. my @ is 'journeykid'

    I suggest that you change or uncheck Use small taskbar buttons by following the steps below:

    • Right-click the Taskbar.
    • Select Properties.
    • In the Taskbar tab make sure that Use small taskbar is
      uncheck      .

    • Click Apply and OK.
    If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

    • Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
    • Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
    • Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.

    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.
