This tutorial will show you how to remove stickers from the desktop for your account in Windows 11.
Desktop Stickers is a hidden feature in Windows 11 that allows you to choose and edit stickers for your wallpaper when using Windows Spotlight or a picture with Fill as your desktop background image.
Using the new sticker editor you can pick, place, and resize stickers as you like. It can be accessed through Settings or by right-clicking your desktop.
When you change your desktop background picture, your stickers will still remain.
The Desktop Stickers feature is currently not officially released to Windows 11 yet, but if you would like to give Desktop Stickers a play with now, you can enable Desktop Stickers in Windows 11 version 22H2 build 22621 and higher now.
Desktop Stickers has not officially been released to Windows 11 by Microsoft yet, so it may still have or cause issues. Future changes might remove the feature or enable it by default.
