GnuCash creates a log file and backup data files as you enter and save
your data.  This is to prevent data loss, so is a good thing.
By default, GnuCash stores those logs and backup files in the same
directory as your main data file.  So, if your main data file is on the
desktop, then all the backup and log files will also be saved on the
desktop.
The BEST way around this is to move your data file off the desktop and
into it's own directory (folder).  You can do this file File -> Save As
and then selecting the target folder.  GnuCash will then remember this new
location, and will re-open your data file the next time you start it
(unless you start it by double-clicking on a data file).
Hope this helps!
