It should not put stuff on your Desktop, unless you set your Desktop path in its configuration somewhere. Removing and reinstalling Wine will not delete the configuration, which is stored in one or more dotfiles.

You can hunt for that and delete it, or uninstall Wine with apt purge instead of apt remove. This will get rid of all associated files of a package along with the package, including configuration.

I have tried purge it did not work

Did you install it via Flatpak?
worthy meteor
No terminal

Did you even change anything in Wine configuration?

I don't actually know much about Wine, but this looks a configuration issue. It will absolutely put a number of seemingly random files somewhere whenever you run something, it is just not supposed to use the Desktop for that.
