How to remove/delete "Adobe Stock" icon on laptop desktop?

New Here ,
Jul 13, 2024 Jul 13, 2024

Hello.  This is a laptop with Windows 10.    There is an icon on my desktop and don't have any idea how it got there.  It's about photos on Bing page. 

1) It was saved with title "Learn About This Picture".  2) If you right click choices are:  Open, I like this photo,  Switch to next photo, Not a fan of photo .(!)   3) If you highlight:  shows name of photographer and info  4) if you left click and open: [moderator removed external link]     I saw "adobe stock" when highlighting another photo. 

 

I do not use Bing or Edge.  Or anything about photos (photoshop, Stock, etc.)   Just simple Internet use and typing Word Documents.

 

The icon won't remove/delete.  There isn't anything in "Programs & Features" in Control Panel for this.  So I removed the Adobe program altogether and the icon is still on Desktop.  Can't get rid of this icon. 

Sorry but I'm concerned and annoyed how it got there and especially that I don't use that feature at all.  Don't want phishers.  

Very much appreciated!

Massachusetts

This is a Windows issue, not a stock issue. Adobe stock is a web site. Not a program. If you have a stock icon on your desktop, simply delete it, and it will be gone.

The app is known as "Bing Wallpaper," and you saw "Adobe Stock" only because one of the images presented by the app was from Adobe Stock. Uninstall the app using Control Panel in the usual way.
