Windows 10: When I move a desktop icon to center of screen it snaps right back to where it was. Any ideas?

I believe I changed a setting accidentally.

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.
