Duplicate desktop icons are because you have both the standard system desktop-icons extension and the DING extension installed at the same time. You need to uninstall this...

sudo apt purge gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons

With X11, you may have to restart gnome-shell with ALT+F2 (or ALT+FN+F2), then "r", then ENTER. Or reboot (or logout/login) if you're running Wayland.
