I found the icons, there are in /usr/share/dist/desktop-files … But
it’s strange to do not permit move/delete on those files for the user :frowning:

Go to the directory where they live and as root delete them.

Have a look here for more info :

Hopefully fixed with an update soon… until then you can either delete
or reassign the icon folder.


Have a lot of fun! WJM

For the Trash & Home folder:
To remove the home folder, open the 'More Applications menu. Under the
‘System’ category, choose GNOME configuration editor.

Then open Apps menu, then Nautilus. Highlight ‘desktop’ and then
uncheck home_icon_ visible.

Now for the other two:

In Console log in as Su, then type
“rm SuSE.desktop”

after that type
“rm GnomeOnlineHelp.desktop”
