I have been trying to get rid of this for months. I created some sticky notes a while back but no matter what I do I cannot get rid of them. Every time I start the system I have these blank notes on the screen. I cannot get rid of them! Itā€™s driving me nuts.

Should be able to remove by clicking inside:

Or if you put your desktop in ā€œEdit Modeā€:

Or ā€¦ well, theres a half dozen or so ā€¦ but those 2 should suffice.

Iā€™ve tried both of these and it still pops up every time I start the system. I can trash them but they just keep coming back! It is very annoyingā€¦

I cannot find a setting anywhere that keeps them from popping up when I start the desktop.

This is all I can get in the settings

Then thats a different scenario.

I would be willing to bet you have ā€˜saved sessionsā€™ enabled.
I dont know if you want that for some reason or not ā€¦ I find it silly and useless.
In any case ā€¦ go to System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Desktop Session
Under Section Login enable Start with an empty session

Gaaaaaaaaarrrhhhhhhh!! LOL

I had such high hopes for your last post but alas, the notes are still there :frowning:

Have you tried changing your desktop layout from folder to desktop? I was having this problem with middle clicks kept making notes. Changing the layout from folder to desktop (under wallpaper settings) worked for me.

This didnā€™t work either.

After talking with my friend about the issue he recommended that I look in the config file located in:

/home/user/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

I removed any references to:

plugin=org.kde.plasma.notes

This solved the issue!

Nice. Iā€™m putting that on my cheat-sheet just in case. Thanks for sharing the solution.
