Hi Julia,

Changing the size of desktop icons is as simple as right-clicking on the desktop and changing settings in the “View”, “View Options” or “Properties” areas.

You can follow the below steps to make the icons larger in size:

  1. Right-click an empty area of the desktop.A context menu will appear, displaying several different options.
  2. Select “View” to expand the next menu. The top three options on this menu show different icon sizes. You will notice a checkmark next to your desktop icons’ current size.Image result for You will notice a checkmark next to your desktop icons’ current size.
  3. Click either “Medium” or “Small” to reduce the size of your icons. If your icon size is currently set to Large, try reducing it to Medium first. If it’s presently set to medium, set it to Small. In Windows Vista, “Small” is called “Classic”.
You can also remove the wallpaper which is causing this issue by following the below steps.

  1. Right-click on your desktop and select "Personalize."
  2. On the top left of the window that pops up, click "Control Panel Home."Image titled Remove a Background from the Desktop Background List Step 1Bullet1
  3. Under the Appearance and Personalization header on the right column, click "Change desktop background."
  4. You will see a screen that lists all of your currently available desktop backgrounds. Find the background that you don't want, and uncheck the box to remove it as a desktop background option.
  5. If you want to delete the file from your computer entirely, look at the sub-header above the desktop background thumbnail and note the image's folder location.
I hope this helps in making the icons bigger again.

Regards,
Lokesh
