The backup and log files are saved in the same directory as the data
file, which presumably you have saved on the desktop.  If you save the
data file in a different folder then it and the backup files will go
there.  You can use File > Save As to do this.  Once you are sure you
have got the new one saved ok then you can remove the one on the
desktop.  Probably it is a good idea to backup the data file before
doing this just in case.  You should be backing it up regularly anyway
of course.
