After updating to 21.04, I, all of a sudden, have a home folder, internal drive icons, and a recycling bin icon on my desktop, which were not there before. I tried following this answer but it did not work. The command that it gave

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false

ran with no output, and had no effect.

And the example that it showed with gnome tweaks wont work for me, as I do not have a "Desktop" section in gnome tweaks. I have the "dconf editor", and I navigated to where it mentioned: /org/gnome/desktop/background/ to disable show-desktop-icons, but strangely enough, It is already disabled... I tried re enabling it, and then disabling it to maybe refresh the setting, but it had no effect and the desktop icons were still there.

Right click on desktop. A context menu will appear. At the bottom of the context menu click on settings. A settings popup will appear. The top half is for enabling/disabling. positioning, and sizing the desktop icons.
