The administrator's Desktop

The administrator's Desktop contains its own set of standard objects. Don't delete, rename, or move into subcontainers any objects on the administrator's Desktop. If you do, you might not be able to perform necessary administrative tasks. These objects are protected by default to avoid mistakenly deleting them.
If you delete one of the standard user icons from the administrator's Desktop, that object and all its contents will be deleted and it may be impossible to restore the administrator's link. If you accidentally delete an object, you can recover it before an audit runs by choosing View > Show Deleted Items, then Control-clicking the trash can icon. Choosing View > Hide Deleted Items will restore the original view.

Audit runs automatically and permanently removes items marked for deletion.
