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:
If it says you don't have permissions to do it, switch to:
Code: Select all
rm .conky-start.sh
Code: Select all
sudo rm .conky-start.sh

Open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type the following lines:
Of course you have to replace ~YOURFILE.SH~ with the name of your file.
Code: Select all
cd Desktop
sudo rm ~YOURFILE.SH~

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.
