How to rearrange desktop icons manually ?

Post by Billy60 »

Good morning,
I have upgraded to 21.1 and now all desktop icons are autmatically piled up on the left hand side of the screen. I want to arrange them the way I want.
I cannot find the 'rarraneg automatically' button, is it still possible on 21.1 or am I just looking the wrong way ?
Thanks a lot !

On Cinnamon DE, right-click on desktop --> customize --> toggle "Autoarrange" off to manually arrange icons to your liking
