soo an even easier way is to right click on ur desktop screen and now select view then click on show desktop icons, if there is no tick on it then your work is done!

If this doesn’t help just open your file location and drag it to your desktop ✌️

I have an icon that is a white square with the same size gray square over the top. It's on my bottom tool bar. I can't get rid of it. When I click on it it brings up desk top 1 and new desktop. Please help! Thank you!
