[QUOTE="sophie.21, post: 1382690, member: 243079"] When i look at my desktop I cant see anything but when i open up my hard drive to look at all my documents and click desktop folder there are over 1000 things but i cant click any of them. sometimes if the mouse is in the corner of the desktop it drags something out but i really dont know how. When i try to delete them from the folder a pop up message says "this is being used by another application" but nothing else is running... I've tried desktop finder and switching the visibility to invisible but they come up in the desktop folder as visible items - not invisible. (although i do have invisible ones that i cant delete either...) I tried terminal but i don't really know what that is or how to use it... someone gave me a command to type in but it didnt work when I did. Please help!! [/QUOTE]
