If you used the built-in reset, that’s not clean. There is only 1 way to do a proper reset, that’s a clean install

If I’m not mistaken that’s what happens if you are signed into OneDrive it will try to restore your previous desktop.

Looks like One Drive synced the shortcut and when you logged back in with your MS account it restored the file. Just delete it, nothing to worry about.

Definitely a one drive thing. restoring old shortcuts

Onedrive saved your desktop to the cloud. Its nothing but a shortcut that was downloaded. I hate that this is by default too

Download Rufus, grab a usb drive, make install media and run it. Make sure to delete all the partitions on your target drive to start from scratch.

If you used the deafult Re-Install button, it just resets a few settings. For the absolute clean up, type this to Powershell Command:
“`
Remove-Item -Path C: -Recurse -Force
“`
then
“`
diskpart
select disk 0
clean
“`
This will do a clean and safe uninstall of your Windows

Its because you signed (or were probably auto signed) into OneDrive. Any files that were synced to it from Desktop, Documents, Pictures, and Videos will show up on your computer again.

You can configure OneDrive to not include the desktop and documents folders, and instead only the OneDrive folder itself, if you prefer.

That’s just onedrive being stupid and restoring shortcuts to crap you may not have installed.

I hate one onedrive with a passion. Haven’t used it since 2021, when it uploaded a bunch of personal photos without my knowledge.

Just delete it, it’s just a shortcut, you signed in with a Microsoft account and it synced/backed up the desktop, documents and photos to the same account you signed in to.

To remove one drive entirely ; use a reputable uninstaller like revo uninstaller. Which I use personally to remove all of windows complimentary bloatware. one drive included.

Hated onedrive myself. Had to go into registry editor to get my actual desktop, documents, and pictures folder back before disabling onedrive altogether. Onedrive made a mess of my folders and separated everything smh
