How do I remove icons from my desktop that won’t delete?

If you don’t want to delete any files or shortcuts from your Windows 10 desktop, but you still want to move them out of the way while you work, you have a couple of options. The first option is to hide the icons from view. To do this, right-click your desktop, select View, and uncheck Show desktop icons.

How do I change my desktop icons back to normal Windows 10?

Step 1: Open Desktop Icon Settings. Click the Search button on the taskbar, type desktop icon in the empty box, and tap Show or hide common icons on the desktop in the list. Step 2: Restore the changed desktop icons to the default one. Choose a changed desktop icon (e.g. Network), and tap Restore Default button.
