What do you mean you can not delete it? Ctrl+H in Nautilus will show hidden files, or open a terminal in the folder where the file is and:

Code: Select all

rm .conky-start.sh

If it says you don't have permissions to do it, switch to:

Code: Select all

sudo rm .conky-start.sh

Open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type the following lines:

Code: Select all

cd Desktop
sudo rm ~YOURFILE.SH~

Of course you have to replace ~YOURFILE.SH~ with the name of your file.

You have to own the file, or act as root (computer supervisor), to delete a file. Unless you change their owner, the files that you own are likely pretty well limited to some of the files in your home directory.
