Delete Desktop Shortcuts

Modified on Wed, 5 May, 2021 at 12:28 PM

Custom desktop shortcuts will be saved to your OneDrive, so that they can be synced across any device. Sometimes you will have multiple copies of the same shortcuts.


e.g I have multiple Teams shortcuts.


You can easily manage this by deleting them from your OneDrive:


Through File Explorer:

1. Open your OneDrive

2. Select Desktop folder

3. select the shortcuts you want to remove and delete them


The shortcuts are now removed from the desktop


Through Office 365:


1. Open OneDrive and select My Files

2. Open the Desktop folder 


Select the shortcuts you want to delete
