The issue with Services fixed itself (how? no idea...) but when I next logged in and checked,
all was as it should be.
Matter of deleting certain items has been achieved by using a different file-manager, although
why that should make any difference is odd.
Strolling through other sections of the forum, including 'Beginners', it is obvious there are many
far more savvy than myself who are struggling to make this work.
Appreciate those who gave their time to offer useful advice, but I will now zap the partition
and install something more functional (no - not Ubuntu); there are other things to do and it is,
after all, only a computer...
