    Dropbox question


    Quick question, maybe a dumb one. Could I just delete un-install drop box desktop icons be back to normal? I'm thinking of just getting a flash drive and backing it up on one of those. This drop box thing is killing me, its not letting me delete things, I'm starting to get cluttered with all these things I keep downloaded and seem to not work. But it honestly might be a "user" problem, which sucks because I'm really bad with this stuff.

    If you delete the icon, it will not remove the app

    None of those are Dropbox icons, but in any case, you could remove those, and instead add shortcuts to the programs to get icons like the rest. These icons were pre-installed when you got the PC/Laptop?

    Create Shortcut to App, File, Folder, Drive, or Website in Windows 10

    Noooo, I can see I'm being fairly confusing and I really don't mean to. What you see on the screen there is iCloud, Youtube, and Marketplace. I just want them to be the same size as the others, but I believe, that the reason they come out so small or like Youtube with a blue border, is because it was backed up by OneDrive. I really could care less for one drive Ill make a back-up tomorrow with a USB flash drive.

    As convenient as it is to have usually just have everything integrated. OneDrive is starting to drive me insane, starting with those dang desktop icons. Cant figure out how to restore em back to normal to save my life, any tutorial I've doesn't seem work and it's like 3 flies buzzing around your room.

    So I was wondering if there was anyway I could completely uninstall it or would it just come back after a reboot? And if that would even work? Like the icons for one, and the ability to freaking delete things again.

    Those appear to be desktop apps, uninstalling them would remove those icons. I do not have those installed, so am unsure if there is an option to add the desktop icons when installing. I'm not sure if they are just shortcuts?

    Ouch. That sucks. I figured iCloud would have been its own thing. Personally, I like everything bigger and bolder because I don't see too well. and I don't want a huge clusterf**k either. So I really didn't want to add anymore to the taskbar but I guess I might have too... which sucks because they were the same size as the others earlier. IDK what happened.

    Thank you.

    Solved-ish. Not the best software in the world. But aye what can you do. Thanks again, Guy.

    Not suggesting you add anything to the taskbar? Was suggesting shortcut icons on the desktop like your others
