Can't remove desktop icons

I cannot seem to remove icons that appear in my desktop. Right now I have a "relocated items" folder and an untitled folder which i accidentally created, as well as a flash player icon. I tried dragging it to the bin and I can't remove it. When I move it in finder it just makes a copy of the folder in another location.

Would appreciate any advice

Thank you!

Icons stuck on desktop OSX 13.0 I moved some files from my desktop to another folder, using a Finder window open on the Desktop folder, as opposed to dragging them from the desktop itself. The files moved, no problem. However, their icons are still on my desktop now - not the desktop finder window. I can't move or interact with them, and if I try and change the desktop icon sizes and text size, those icons are affected as well as other actual icons pertaining files that are still on my desktop, but that's it.

Remove icon? I had a computer "meltdown" a couple of weeks ago; I did get it fixed. I had a few custom icons on folders, and they disappeared. Using Spotlight, I searched and found several files called "icon?"; the files look like they are almost empty. Is there anyway I can delete them? I did use a command to show hidden files, but they didn't show up, so I have no idea where they are.

If someone could provide some insight that would be great thanks.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
