Jun 23, 2015 3:33 PM in response to ellentennisby Linc Davis,If the Finder is bogged down by too many items on the Desktop, you may be able to free it up by hiding the preview icons. Click anywhere on the Desktop to select it, then press the key combination command-J, or select
View ▹ Show View Options
from the menu bar. In the dialog that opens, uncheck the box marked
Show icon preview
You may now be able to move the items off the Desktop. Otherwise, start up in safe mode and try again.
