I would like to remove things from my start / home screen, i.e. From the desktop. I don't know how to remove it
Links etc. You can select with a right click and press "delete". These are then in the trash, which you would have to empty if you no longer need the file
Click and hold it with the left mouse button, then drag it to the trash. Or click with the right mouse button once, a bar will not open next to it, relatively far down it says: "Delete"
I just want to delete it from the home screen and not completely
And what do I do if I don't want to delete the file but only the one on the home screen so I want to find it when I click on search
how about
Make a folder in Windows Explorer on a hard drive of your choice and put the files in there and create a shortcut on the desktop, or then right-click on the folder and press "Pin to Start". Then you can find it using the search function
I'm not looking for a background but would like to know how I can get it so empty without all things are gone, so that I can still find them when I search
But how do I do it that you are no longer on the background?
If you do not have a folder on the desktop and then have the files from the desktop in it, you can delete them from the desktop, because a copy of it is then in the new folder.
The other two answers told you how to delete files.
As I understood, you just want to make these files disappear from the desktop and not delete them. To remove all icons right click on your desktop and then go to View. The last point there says "Show desktop icons". There you remove the tick with a click on it.
To hide individual symbols, right click on the desired file and click on "Properties" at the bottom. Then on the General tab and then at the bottom under "Attributes" there are two fields. You then tick the box "Hidden" and the file disappears from your desktop, but still exists on your PC.
So you have to right click on the view and then the last one
You don't do that, you delete the shortcut to the desktop, uninstalling a program works very differently.
