Removable media icon in MDK 9.0


Hi, is there any way how to permanently remove the "Removable media" icon from MDK 9.0 desktop? I am not using automount, though. Thanks.

It's actually only (as far as I can tell) KDE under Mandy 9 that does this. A nice, simple workaround would be to make a script as below, and save it so that it runs upon startup of KDE...
Code:
#! /bin/bash
rm -rf ~/Desktop/Removable media/
and save it under ~/.kde/Autostart. That way, whenever KDE starts, the file is automagically removed anyway. There is certainly a cleaner way of doing this, such as not having it put there in the first place, but I never bothered checking out how to stop it since I don't use KDE.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks Thymox for help, but that doesn't work. It is just "cosmetic" problem for me and there must be maybe a simple solution for that. But the script doesn't work. Have fun.
