Windows 10: Icons not removed from desktop when deleting

I've recently built a new PC and am having an issue when deleting files from the desktop.
I haven't noticed the behaviour in any other folder.

When I drag an icon or folder from the desktop to the recycle bin, it looks like it behaves correctly and removes it from the desktop (and certainly appears in the bin). But if I recheck later, say an hour or something, the icon has re-appeared although the file itself is not there, i.e. I get an error if I try to open it.

If I refresh the desktop the icon does disappear (and doesn't re-appear again), but I would like to know why this issue keeps occurring - I haven't seen this issue before on my other machines.

From testing, if I set windows to confirm on every delete I don't get the issue (i.e. when I click delete as opposed to dragging to the bin), but when I drag to the recycle bin (even with this confirmation setting on) it doesn't prompt me to confirm deletion and the error occurs. So perhaps its linked with this behaviour of deletion confirmation.

In case its relevant, the boot drive is an M2 NVMe as opposed to HDD etc..
I'm running Win 10 Home 19042.746

Thanks for any pointers.

Removing desktop icons

I want to remove some Icons from my desktop, but Vista asks for Admin permission to continue (I'm not an admin *Frown ).
It seems that whenever I delete one of these icons from my desktop, it is also removed from all the other user accounts. For example, I deleted the Skype icon from my desktop, and it was then removed from everyone elses as well.
How can I delete icons from my desktop only, without affecting anyone elses?

 

Removing desktop icons

the icons are located in 'all users' folder somewhere (for example, i see a few shared icons in "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" )

The only way to fix those, is to remove the icons from there, and place them on to each users desktops manually. an admin may need to do this.

 

Remove Linux Desktop Icons

I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
