But....

To the point. Right click on the icons and scroll down to properties see if you can filnd the file path. That is, where they are located, navigate there and delete. I'd reboot to make sure. Give it a go......m

You right clicked on them and selected delete? It shouldn't care about the path except if you have left clicked (run) one of them.
