It depends on what the icon represents, just like in Windows.  What
you're thinking of is deleting a shortcut.  Here, we call them
launchers.  :-)  If you delete the shortcut or launcher, that will not
delete the file or application.

However, if you have saved a file to your Desktop, then deleting that
icon will delete the file.   Same as on Windows.

In other words, know what it is you're actually deleting.  :-)
