Deleting Short Cut Icons

I recently purchased a notebook full of software I wont be needing. I decided
to uninstall some of it. After I successfully uninstalled all the unnecessary
software, I couldn't delete the short cut icons on my desktop. Have somebody
encountered such dilemna and how can I delete these I cons cluttering my desk
top?

Tigerliit,

Try right clicking a empty area of your desktop and click refresh.
Sometimes the shortcuts are still showing on the desktop even though
they are not really there.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

bootup or you could delete icon first then uninstall program
