Accidentally I put many unnecessary shortcuts on my desktop. How can I remove them all at once? I have Windows 7? Save my life please!?

ctrl-z will undo the last thing you did but I imagine it's too late for that.

If selecting them on the desktop (as others said) takes too long, open windows explorer to your desktop folder,

use the "details" view and click the "date modified" header to order everything by date modified. The new shortcuts will have the latest date.

Click the first one you want to delete.

Scroll down to the last one.

Hold shift and click the last one. All the files in between will be selected too.

Press delete.

Check that you didn't delete something you wanted to keep (it'll be in your recycle bin).

Many thanks! This morning I solved my problem. Your answers are helpful, but I know all of them. The problem is in huge amount of short cuts. Just in case, I opened Computer short cut, then Desktop, then Delete. It was risky, but i hoped that I am able to put all necessary short cuts to desktop. I did it. Once again, thanks a lot.

hold the ctrl button down.   Now left click on each icon you want to exterminate.  Once you mark them all hit the delete key. & say yes. Done. They are all in the recycle bin.

Just remove them individually. You can do it ! It won't take long.

all at once?  what is the reason for that ? ,,, 

Just hold the left mouse button, drag the mouse across the shortcuts and delete them like you would a normal file.

Open File explorer -  go to desktop folder -   Enable Tic Boxes in the view tab.

Tic the ones you want to delete and press delete key.

Simply, you can delete them in groups.  Click and hold the mouse and drag it to create a square around several at once. This will highlight and 'select' them as a group.  Then hit delete on the keyboard.  Keep doing this - avoiding the ones you want to keep - until all the unnecessary ones are gone. 

is your computer neuromorphic?

you  need  to  stop  using  win-7 … at  least  disconnect  it  from  the  internet  as  well  as  from  all  other  devices!
