[Bug 1893110] [NEW] Cant remove desktop icons ubuntu 20.04

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've just upgraded to 20.04 from 18.04 and am having this issue using Gnome Flashback(metacity) desktop.
The 'Home' and 'Trash' icons on my desktop continue to be there even after i have changed the settings using gsettings set....
the text below shows the output of gsettings list-recursively | grep icons -- i tried to add a screenshot but failed!

I cant find any other settings that relate to this.
If i create another user and use the metacity desktop the command gsettings set ortg.gnome,gnome.flashback.desktop show-icons false removes the icons, but not with my main user account
