Windows 10: how do i remove specific icons off my wallpaper?

i want to only display icons for my games on my wallpaper screen, but annoying things like edge and adobe, for example, it says that i need to have admin privileges to delete them - yes i am aware how to delete regular icons - and my account does not have admin. for context my laptop was gifted to me by my dad's old boss, and his account is still on there, and is the only admin account, and we are no longer in contact with him, so just putting in his pin won't work. i've tried other third party extensions, but the ones i've tried either remove all of them, and also, i know i can right clic
