How much memory does a desktop file use?

When we store some data on the desktop from where that memory is allocated?

Generally, memory isn’t allocated when you store a file on the desktop. The actual storage in on the hard drive which is different to your RAM memory and won’t affect your system unless the disk is full.

There can be problems if a desktop file  is corrupt, virus infected or the icon has some sort of glitch but these situations are fairly unusual.

It is good practice though to keep your computer desktop tidy and keep files organised in files. Also keep in mind some Windows based backup programs won’t save desktop files as they only choose My Documents to save.
