Is there a terminal command that can

reload the desktop

in centos linux desktop for example ?

i would like to reload the desktop so everything gets refreshed.

because currently some deleted files are not disappearing like they are suppose to and some new files are not appearing like they are suppose to.

Answer 1

In LMDE (linux mint debian edition) F5 refreshes the desktop, but this question probably belongs in unix.stackexchange.com
