Yes there is a way to garbage collect the desktop.

After turning on the machine (or after a reset) hold down
the option and period keys. This will rebuild the desktop
entirely. That means that all unused icons will be removed,
all desk accessories that are non-standard will be removed,
all folders will lose their names and their correct levels
of nesting.

Hope this helps.
