That's your Mac's hard drive. If you don't want to see it on your desktop, go to:
Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop: > Hard disks (uncheck this)

That is your Mac's hard disk drive icon.

Why you don't want it? Maybe you don't want to delete it.
:confused:

Finder Menu -> Preferences
General -> Show this items on the desktop:
Enable what you want, and disable what you don't want to see.
 
lol i knew it was my hard drive and i didn't want to delete it. Just make it not show up! Thanks people. Problem solved
