Hi Leif a,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about screenshots. We're happy to share some information to help.


If we understand correctly, it sounds like you want to remove them from the desktop, but still have access to them on your Mac. If that's the case you can change where screenshots are saved. Use Command + Shift + 5 > Options and choose from the menu where you would like screenshots to save.


Thanks
