I can't remember how exactly they got there, but now some extra files and images are permanently under my home folder and will not delete.

As you can see, the folder "flowerkins" should not be there, as with the schedules and the .png files etc. How this happened was I trying to give my folders icons and in the process of it...this happened. And instead of giving my folders icons, the icons (and one or two images) became permanent under home. No matter how many times I try to delete them, it prompts me for a password. I type it in, (on details it says: Right: com.apple.desktopservices. Application: Finder.) and it does the deleting action to the trash but nothing actually happens it remains there.

I do not know if they are locked (I am still new to mac.) I have tried COMMAND+I and clicked on the little unlock thing at the corner, with my password to change the write protection but that hasn't accomplished anything.

Anyways so I have asked other mac users and they have been baffled, and I really cannot stand the sight of these stupid icons so someone please help :(
