spinynorman Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Welcome to the board. :) Drag and drop the Trash icon onto the panel; then click once on the icon on the desktop, press the Delete key, and click the Move to Trash button. I don't know if the Desktop icon will reappear when you login again - you'll have to try it and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Errrm...what about deleting it? :D If you ever want it back, then simply touch /home/fireblade/Desktop/Trash.desktop ...and then edit the created file Trash.desktop like that: [Desktop Entry] Comment=Contains removed files EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=trashcan_full Name=Trash Type=Link URL=trash:/ Without the icon, you can simply fire up konqueror or any KDE filemanager, and type in "trash:/" in the address bar.

arctic Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 In case that you use Gnome instead of KDE as your desktop, the trash can can be deactivated using the gconf-editor -> applications -> nautilus -> show trash icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
