    [SOLVED] unwanted icon on desktop

    after some update i saw these 2 new icons (both the same) on my desktop,the one i could delete with right click / delete.
    the other one is stuck there, right click , left click does nothing , it doesn't open or have a menu.
    how to get rid of it?

    Do you see anything accessible with
    cd $HOME/Desktop/
    ls -l org*
    and can you remove it from the terminal?

    Those two links on the desktop are created by /etc/skel/ in Kubuntu 26.04 LTS for every new user.

    Their names are
    "HOW-TO Guides" (org.kfocus.web.howtos.desktop)
    and
    "Kubuntu Website" (org.kubuntu.web.home.desktop).

      Look in your ~/Desktop folder and try removing it from there.

      That is one of the help/docs shortcuts on a normal install, or at least the live session.

      Maybe need to restart plasmashell if it is a cache thing?

      The shortcut is to /usr/share/applications/org.kfocus.web.howtos.desktop
