For some reason, I can see "Macintosh-HD" and "Update" folders or drives on my desktop along with my iMac icon. Is something wrong?

I don't think I am supposed to see these on the desktop. How to I fix this?


iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Not necessarily. Open Finder Preferences; Under the General tab you can select what displays on your desktop.
