remove app from desk top

[memoself]

I held the gmail icon down too long and put the icon on my desk. How do I take it off?? I was trying to send a pic to an email but they haven't received it. Thats another problem. Can someone answer both?

To remove the icon off your desktop, just hold the icon down for a few seconds and then drag it to the trashcan that will appear at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks!!
