How to remove weird desktop/homescreen icons?
#2
Problem 1 - I do not have that icon (pinephone speaker). In general - application launchers are taken from /usr/share/applications (system ones) and from /home/"yourusername"/.local/share/applications (user ones). Removing corresponding .desktop file removes also the entry at desktop. The most correct way of removing them is to uninstall the application...
Problem 2 - I have learned that it is better not to mess with desktop widgets icons etc. So I have just that Phone and Phonebook icons and that's all. From time to time all the desktop reverts anyway to the default look Big Grin Widgets etc configuration is in the file: /home/"yourusername"/.config/*appletsrc file and user icons probably as /home/"yourusername"/.local/share/applications/*.desktop files.
