Removing Icons on Desktop

One of the quickest and easiest methods to free up space and boost Windows 10’s performance is to get rid of the icons cluttering your desktop.

In Windows 10, you can quickly and easily clear your desktop of icons with only a few clicks. It’s as simple as right-clicking an icon on the Windows 10 desktop and selecting “Delete” from the context menu.

An additional shortcut involves simply dragging the icon to the trash can and releasing it there. Take it out of the recycling bin if you really want to get rid of it. Doing so will allow you to succeed.

Using Windows 11’s streamlined “Applications” folder, you can get this done in no time. Any app, past or present, from the Microsoft Store can be displayed on your desktop.
