How to remove desktop icons via command line

[Member v934]

Hi,

I have an antix 19 installation running rox-icewm. It’s a default configuration that I’m configuring for my needs remotely through SSH. Unfortunately I don’t have any remote desktop/vnc access.

I need to remove the Files and Help icons from the desktop. I tried removing the .desktop entires from ~/Desktop but this didn’t change anything, the icons are still there.

How can I manually, without any desktop access, remove these icons?
Been searching a lot on the internet and found no informations where rox keeps it’s desktop entries.

Use mc to edit ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/pb_antiX-icewm (Remove the 2 lines that have ‘icon’ in the string).

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

I actually found it now, the entries are kept at ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/pb_antiX-icewm in an XML file
