You definitely don't want your desktop icons there as a distraction when you are taking a screenshot, but you might still want them for your personal computer use. Luckily, you can hide them without deleting them.
Right click the desktop, hover over "view", and click "Show desktop icons" to uncheck it. Your icons should now disappear. Repeat the same steps to show them again once you're done taking screenshots.
