Solved not able to delete from desktop
- Thread starter jojokhan
- Start date
Is the shortcut pointing to something that doesn't exist anymore? Have you tried going through Explorer to the Desktop to see if the shortcut is still there? How about after a restart...do you still have the same problem?

Hello JoJokhan, and welcome to Seven Forums.
If restarting the computer doesn't get rid of it, then you might see if using the free program Unlocker on it may be able to allow you to delete it afterwards.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Have you emptied the recycle bin? Go into safe mode, right click to run as Administrator and delete it.
