Having a cluttered desktop can hinder your productivity and make it difficult to find the files and shortcuts you need. If you’re using Windows 10, reducing the number of desktop icons can help you achieve a cleaner and more organized desktop. In this article, we’ll guide you through four easy steps to reduce desktop icons in Windows 10.

Step 1: Right-click on the Desktop

The first step to reducing desktop icons is to right-click on any empty space on your desktop. A context menu will appear with various options.

Step 2: Select “View” from the Context Menu

After right-clicking on the desktop, hover your mouse over the “View” option in the context menu. This will expand a submenu. From that submenu, click on “Show desktop icon” to uncheck it.

Step 3: Confirm the Change

Once you’ve unchecked the “Show desktop icon” option, the icons on your desktop should disappear. You can confirm this by looking at your desktop and noticing the absence of icons.

Step 4: Customize your Desktop Icons

If you still want to have some desktop icons but reduce the clutter, you can customize which icons are displayed. To do this, right-click on the desktop and select “Personalize” from the context menu.

Inside the Personalization settings, click on “Themes” in the left-hand sidebar. Then, scroll down and click on “Desktop icon settings” in the center panel.

A new window titled “Desktop Icon Settings” will open. Here, you can choose which icons you want to display on your desktop. Simply check or uncheck the boxes next to the desired icons and click “Apply” followed by “OK” to save your changes.
