This help if you want to warp your icons around your desktop picture or just not have them even.

If you want to get rid of the grid that forces your icon to be equally space out this is how.

1. Right-click on your Desktop.

2. At the very top (or near it) there should be a Arrange Icons By, select it.

3. There will be one option called Allign to Grid with/without a check mark next to it.

4. If there is a check mark next to it you will disable the feature, and if there isn’t one you will enable it.
