    How do I remove these from my Desktop?


    These are from when I Backed Up my One Drive and left these white ones sitting there on my Desk top. The second 2 are when I Set Up my Printer. They say SET UP. I also have the yellow one which is backup from my old lap top for this new PC. One of the white ones says Windows 10 Updates, which this new one is Windows 11. So is there anyway to get them off my Desktop and anytime my One Drive Backups will I get more of these loading down my Desktop with things I will never touch?

    :)
