how to remove icon from desktop?

I have search around inside my system or google around outside to find right one, but I can't... I might overlook the instruction...

I am using Gnome 2.12 and I can't remove floppy icon on my desktop! this one is stubborn!! Hope anyone have experience with difficult or simple repair??

Thanks!

I don't use Gnome so can't say for sure, but here's another thread on it so maybe one of these solutions will work for you:

Hi... Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner... I click the link to HP?? I am not sure if that is any relate??

Unmount the floppy drive as root. That's all you have to do.

Thanks... Mind my asking how to type in unmount floppy? I am still fair with type in root.. Su then password as root, then ??? for unmount??

Thanks!

If your device is mounted at /mnt/floppy, just run

Code:

---

sudo umount /mnt/floppy
