Yes. If you just delete it, it will be in your Recycle Bin if you find you need to restore it.
OK done, but I've only the deleted the short cut not whatever app is using it. My fear was that it might be something malicious.
Turns out that it didn't Delete. I need permission to perform this action. It's my personal computer and there is no admin. Apparently it's indestructable!
Can you post screenshots of all the right click Properties?
Seems to be a close window descriptor..., another script had to have initiated that process..., check into it carefully and cautiously!
I'm the one who had to clarify if "bin it" meant to delete it. Cautiously, means "leave it alone" at my level of expertise.
Go to the Details Tab of the Properties window to see what the URL actually points to.
It is only a short cut. If it is something that can cause harm it will still be installed. Seeing it is only a shortcut I seriously doubt that removing the shortcut is going to be a serious problem.Oh my gawd! Not another person who stores things they may someday want, in their recycle bin.
There is a reason why, the icon for the Recycle Bin is a trash can. Trash cans get emptied!!!
If you have things you want to take out of circulation, but think you may want again some day, create a folder of your own, for them.
Call that folder whatever you want: Junk, Misc, Reserved, or Suspense.
But NEVER put anything in the 'Recycle Bin' that you may ever want to see again.
My own "Win-11Cleanup.bat" program (Batch File) empties all recycle bins, every time I run it.
Cheers Mates! Interesting thread!
