Right click anywhere on your desktop, select 'Arrange Icons By', then uncheck 'Show Desktop Icons'.

Select all> move to recycle bin> empty recycle bin

My other computer's desktop is shaved more than Johnny's mom. No recycle bin, no names under the only 3 icons on the picture. Haxor.

Thank you sir that's the way I did it before. much easier than clicking everything and hiding it.

Yeah this only deletes the short cuts not the files. This is the best way imo.

I have a similar but not the same request. Is there a way to just show the icon and none of the lettering? I still need the icons on the desktop.
