Deleting an icon from the desktop removes a link to a file, folder, or application. Icons provide a convenient way to access frequently used items, but they can also become cluttered and disorganized over time. Deleting unused icons can help keep the desktop clean and efficient.
To delete an icon from the desktop, simply right-click on the icon and select “Delete” from the menu. Alternatively, you can drag the icon to the Trash folder in the Dock. On a Mac, you can also select the icon and press the “Delete” key on the keyboard.
