OK so it really is the old (correct) desktop-icons extension in use. That seems like the most likely explanation still.

I think comment #3 needs another attempt and more investigation because we need to know if disabling the extension fixes it. Please try:

  gsettings set org.gnome.shell disabled-extensions "['desktop-icons@csoriano']"

and if it doesn't work immediately then log in again.

If that still doesn't succeed in removing the icons then please run:

  cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell
  rm -rf extensions

and log in again.
