I'd like to remove some of the icons on my desktop but I cant seem to find out how. Specifically I'm talking about my hard drive, its partitions, and the file system. Any help would be great! I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, by the way.

  • Yes, that what it looks like. I tried following the steps to black list, but when I get into my canonical folder, the only section inside of it is "indicator"
