Hi brackbox,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are experiencing an issue removing files from your desktop, and I am happy to assist.
-What specifically happens when you are attempting these actions (drag and drop, or secondary click) to remove items from your desktop?
-Do you have Desktop and Documents files turned on in iCloud Drive? Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support.
I would recommend the following to get started:
-Make sure you are using the latest macOS Catalina version: How to update the software on your Mac - Apple Support.
-Restart your Mac and try again: How to turn your Mac on or off - Apple Support.
If you need continued support, reply back with responses to the questions above.
Best regards.
