Desktop Icon Not Removable

[Rtk-]

Hello Mint XFCE users.
Small problem, I cannot delete a file from my desktop. A simple delete nor 'permanent remove' will not erase it.
Very annoying as I like a blank desktop.
File type is tar.bz, here's a screen shot.
Forgive me if the solution is very simple, I'm more of a Gnome or Fluxbox user.
