Removing desktop icons

In Ubuntu 14.04 Unity places Computer, Home and Trash icons on the desktop. I've tried using Unity-Tweak to remove them but they're still there. How can I remove them?


Solution 1:

Run this command from a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false

Or to do it with GUI open dconf-editor and go to org -> gnome -> desktop -> background and uncheck "show-desktop-icons."
