Not an option, but your can clear the desktop by either copying (and moving) the folders (if contains files you need to keep) to other location such as "Documents". Or just go to desktop via Finder and then delete the folders.
Many thanks for your reply, May I ask what folders will be on the desktop. Does it look like Microsoft windows desktop?
I have a MacBook Air 2017 I did have windows before and now with this MacBook got quite used to having a clean desktop screen.
Thanks Very Much.
David.
