hide/remove icons from desktop mac book pro

Hello there, how do you hide or remove app icons from the desktop. I want to keep some and hide/remove some. Not entirely remove from the system just from the desk top view.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5

Where exactly on the desktop?


If it's in the dock, they are an alias and you can remove them.


If you have the app on the desktop, you will delete it if you drag it to the trash.
