How to remove desktopX object

Hi,
I'm totally new to downloading and using DesktopX objects. I recently downloaded an object and I cannot remove it from my desktop. I tried to delete it from the DesktopX menu and it's gone, however it remains on my desktop.

Thanks

Hmmm . . tough one from a users standpoint.
The problem is that the author made teh backgroun a Music player object even thou it doesn't do anything.

I switched to builder mode, removed the sctipt from the background and the DXplayer pluging and resaved.
Now it works as expected.

You might want to leave the author a note tha he/she could do the same.

When he restarts DX, that object will reload.  And if he has other objects running . . they are removed too.
I thought the same thing bilbo  ;)

Bichur, that's allowed with credit text (no permission needed).  I've tagged the author to update the object.  Good catch
