How to remove app icons from the Windows background 2020

On my windows home screen background, it will show some apps I have downloaded, example: Epic games, ROBLOX. This can get very annoying to look at. I want to know how to remove the icons off the background, not delete the app. Is there any way to do that?

To hide all icons on your Desktop, right click the Desktop and choose View - untick, Show Desktop icons

To delete a specific icon, right click and choose Delete, that will only delete the icon, not the app, that app will still be accessible from your Start Menu
