What's in my Dock/Taskbar thread
Remove trash icons on Windows 10 by deleting them from the Start menu or using the Settings app to hide them.
On the desktop? Simply click right-click and select 'Disable Desktop Icons.' This will remove all the icons.
Begin at Start Menu, use Windows Explorer, open Chrome. Keep the desktop tidy—no icons, just a minimal taskbar.
