Trash icon on Desktop but not listed from terminal command “ls -all”
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and on my Desktop there is the Trash icon.
When I use terminal to list the contents of the Desktop I do not see anything related to Trash. I was expecting ".desktop" file such as Trash.desktop, but there is none.
Why is that?
18.04 gnome-shell trash

There is no .desktop file for Trash in your ~/Desktop/ directory. The trash icon is a feature provided by GNOME shell and/or Nautilus, it's probably hard-coded somewhere.
You can enable/disable this feature using gsettings/dconf. Run the following to hide the trash icon from your desktop
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop trash-icon-visible false
