Try scanning your system with Malwarebytes and see if that picks it up and removes it. Second option is a scan with CCleaner.

None of the programs you mentioned worked..
With CCleaner...the default icon appears in the list of ''things'' to be removed..but I can't select it, meaning I can't delete it >.> |

Hmm..It doesn't work either...but could it be related to some other icons?
cause I found out that there was a default icon but that has a name inside my ''My computer'' |

do you get a message when you try to delete it?
What happens if you try to delete it in safe mode? When you right click, can you see a properties option?

That looks like a system file icon.
Where did it appear? Can you right click on it and select properties?, see if there is any information in properties about it like a name or file path.

If I try to delete it, I press the 'delete' button but nothing happens.
If I right click it, it shows 'Open', 'Explore' and 'Create shortcut' : -if I click on 'Open', nothing happens -if I click on 'Explore', nothing happens -if I click on 'Create shortcut', it says 'Windows could not create shortcut. Check if disk is full.' It appeared on my desktop that's why it's bothering me so much lol.and...there's no name to it... |

Humour me.
Do you have access to another computer? If you do, can you slave your harddrive to it and run Antivirus, Antimalware and Root Scanner scans? |
