Default File icons moved to desktop.

I was applying for a driving licence for my wife on the DVLA Web Page and at the end I was asked to participate in a survey which required me to accept downloading some software. When I completed the survey and closed it down my desktop filled with files in icon format from my documents folders.
Is there a simple way to get them to go back from whence they came?

Hi
If I understand your problem correctly, what you will need to do is open File Explorer and navigate to your desktop folder and manually move the files to where they should be. There is no automatic way to do it safely.
Good luck.
Tony
