Hello,
When in any File Explorer window i click in an empty place of the screen, i get some options.
One of them is "NEW". when i put the cursor on it i have two options. "Folder" and "Shortcut".
As you can see in the file that i upload i have also a lot of entries that i do not use.
How can i delete them?
Thanks and best regards

One possibly is malware of course as well as some legit applications have been know to cause this. Have you installed anything recently?
