2 Hard drive icons on Desktop (1 real, one phantom with locked permissions)

There was a thread last year about this but it was unresolved, and locked with over 50 folks still having the problem.


I installed a linux server today using Terminal and SSH. Perhaps my local system saw the remote server as a second hard drive hierarchy and got confused and added a 2nd icon?

So delete it, or turn off the preferences in Finder, or simply ignore it.

What is the complication here?


please advise...
