    Some desktop icons that I can't remove


    Hello,I just got a new windows 11 laptop and after setting it up for the first time, the downloads, home, documents, desktop, music, videos and pictures desktop icons appeared and I can't remove them for some reason.And when I go the the properties of any one of them the location is the default location for all of them that is C:\users\"me"\documents for example.I really have no idea how to remove as they are annoying and I don't really need them there since I could just access these folders from my file explorer as they are pinned in quick access.Any help is appreciated.Thank you very muc

    :)
