Windows 10: Moved pictures from desktop to folder on desktop, but I still have an "image" that is now 0...

I just got Windows 10. Any other version of Windows, when I download pictures to my desktop, then create a folder to organize them, I would just drag the photos to the folder and it was done.

Now, I create a folder, I drag the photos to the folder, and I still have these "images" that aren't images, they say 0 bytes, but I cant delete them, I cant drag them to the Recycle Bin. They are now sitting here cluttering up my desktop, and I can't get rid of them.

I was more than happy with Windows 7, the only reason why I upgraded is because MS stopped supporting it.

Why does Windows 10 take something simple, like dragging a photo to a folder, and yet leave a "ghost" image on my desktop that I can't get rid of?

Furthermore, how is this supposed to help the customer? I already know where the file is, because I drug it there.
Now, I got all this unsightly **** on my desktop that I can't get rid of.

Desktop folders Move function

Clicking in the title bar of any folder on the desktop shows a list of functions - Restore, Move, Size, Minimize etc. When I right click on the title bar and select Move, the Move icon appears but it's not clear what to then do with it to actually make
the folder move. Movint the icon to another part of the desktop doesn't do anything. What else is required to move the folder using the Move function?
