Looks like you really messed up, begin closing them.


Do you have any of the following third party apps installed on your Mac?


       •      Antivirus Apps

       •      Cleaning Apps

       •      Security Apps

       •      VPN Apps

       •      Maintenance Apps


You can also try:


  • Relaunch Finder: Press Option-Command-Escape to open the Force Quit menu, or select Force Quit from the Apple menu
  • Restart your Mac: Restarting your Mac can help fix issues with desktop icons
  • Check Finder Settings: Review your Finder settings to see if they are causing the issue
  • Turn off Stacks: Consider turning off Stacks to see if that helps
  • Check iCloud Drive: Check your iCloud Drive settings to see if they are causing the issue
  • Use Terminal: Use Terminal to unhide icons
  • Replace plist files: Consider replacing any plist files that may be causing the issue
