[QUOTE="voiceofra, post: 638003, member: 28040"] open Terminal. [CODE]cd ~/Desktop ls -a[/CODE] That will show all hidden files on the desktop [CODE]rm .whateverthefilenameis[/CODE] or [CODE]rm .thefoldername[/CODE] if it's a folder. As stated, be careful. Only delete what you KNOW you want to get rid of. [/QUOTE]
