[SOLVED] Desktop Icon needed or not ? - oxo42 - 12-22-2014

Hi
  After a new install of O.S. Lite 1.0.8. I have a short cut Icon in the top left of the desktop,
it says 32GB File system.

If I hover mouse pointer over Icon it says  " Removable Volume Not Mounted Yet " if I double click I get  "Authentication is required to mount the device "

The same file system shows up in the Home folder but needs to be mounted to get access.
Do I need to retain this shortcut / or should it not be there.

                                                Thanks.

Hi oxo42.  You can get rid of it by going to Menu/Settings/Desktop/Icons - under Default Icons, uncheck the items you don't want.


I'm looking at LL2.2, but I think it will be similar in 1.0.8.

Hi bobw
              Are you saying that it is safe to get rid of  / and that I dont need it there.

              Thanks.

Yes - no problem.
