Updated here from 18.10 to 19.04. Recycle bin and folder icons appeared on the desktop. They are not active and do not react in any way to pressing - as if this is part of the background image.
How to remove them and make the desktop clean (as it was in 18.10)?

Not in Gnome Tweaks. You can only install the Desktop Icons extension, if you install it, it only layers new icons on top of these.
I did not find it in the standard Settings either.

Tested on 20.04 - works.
