Command to make icons reappear: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true; killall Finder

In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you how to instantly hide all desktop icons on macOS using a simple Terminal command. This command effectively disables the desktop, meaning you won’t be able to drag new files onto it or interact with it as usual. However, all your files and folders will remain accessible through Finder. Enjoy!
