fatbill Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Annoying....I have a desktop icon, 0 bytes, which I can't delete because it says the file it relates to has gone.How do I get rid of it?I've run CC but it's still there.I'm no techie, by the way.

Moderators hazelnut Posted September 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2017 Quite a few different ways you can try.... Click on the icon and then press the F5 key (refresh key) Reboot machine and try again Try deleting in safe mode.

fatbill Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 The F5 didn't do it.Deleting in safe mode didn't, either.I'm at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonConvergentWaveform Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 What is the name of the icon? Maybe it is not a shortcut but some sort of special file (like the recycle bin on the desktop that isn't really on the desktop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted September 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2017 Refresh the icon cache? You say your not techie so it's probably easier to just google those 4 words than try to explain it here. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
