Many "GUI file browsers" have a tendancy to "combine" plural actual
disk paths into the 'appearance' of a singular view (and "Desktop" is
one of those 'views' that GUI dev's think need this miss-feature).

So it is possible the file it is located somewhere other than
~/Desktop/ and the GUI is merging together that other location with the
contents of the actual ~/Desktop/, and presenting the combination to
you as "Desktop".

Hmm. Still doesn't say why it cant be deleted/found Even from the GUI file manager
Because it would be on another directory.
Which would explain why it does not appear when you actually view
~/Desktop/ with ls from a terminal.
