Re: Strange unwanted Text box on KDE desktop. Help me delete it?

#11 Post by beersloth »

It happened again. now I have three new unwanted notes stuck on my desktop. I cannot see above what helped me get rid of the previous unwanted note as I am the OP. I really want the widget or offending application gone so that I cannot accidentally make more and I really want to delete these. I cannot so far.

If i uninstall the widget my notes will be gone and I cannot accidentally bung up my desktop again, correct ? If so, how do I uninstall the widget or what else can I do ?

Since a lot of replies have been given I am not going to delete the thread, if that is what you want.

I CAN delete posts number 11 and 12 for you if you want.

@beersloth Solutions have already been given to you in post #3 how to remove the Notes widget from the desktop and in post #9 how to disable the cause of Notes unintentionally launching in the first place. What more were you expecting?

All,

Thanks for attempting to help.
but, solution 3 is not a solution. add a note to your desktop and try it. the only way to remove a note is right click along the frame of the note (has to be the frame or outline) and wait for the menu to pop up, there is a delay, but there is a delete option. That is the only way I found to delete the three sticky notes on my desktop. there was a tiny widget which simply pointed to them. solution 3 would have been referring to that, but removing the widget(s) left the notes in place. Only what i mentioned above just now got rid of them.

as for your point, admin (Eadwine Rose) about many responses. read them. virtually none were for help except JayM, which I appreciate, but it did not work. I did follow the suggestion of post 9 but have no idea if that is how I was getting notes on my desktop so I will not know if it helped or not. The thread seems like a deleter to me in that nothing here actually worked until this post but that is your call.

Ja das ist Notes, passierte mir auch eine Zeit lang. Zu der gleichen Zeit im Mai bis Juni. Danach hörte es wieder auf. Damals wurde auch viel gebastelt an der Kontrollleiste. jetzt ist das stabil, vielleicht hing das zusammen? Ich habe dann mit der rechten Maustaste (ganz genau zielen) die rechte obere Ecke angeklickt. Dann gab es ein Menue mit dem das Feld zu löschen war. Das lief unter "Mini-Programme". Das weisse Feld war aber ein Notizzettel, kein Programmstarter. Egal, hat sich erledigt.
