see floppy disk on the desktop

floppy disks are legacy since many years. The corresponding symbol still appears on the desktop when you want to see removable drives by default.
Recommendation: do not show floppy disks any more by default

It is shown in Thunar also, but the file manager allows you to individually hide it. Maybe xfdesktop could offer that option too.

I can't reproduce this (xfdesktop 4.12.3-3). Does it only show with a specific hardware/configuration?

I guess you at least need to have a floppy disk connected and functional.  I dont have a floppy disk any more on my system, and I cannot make thunar/xfdesktop showing a floppy drive.
I guess in the desktop settings in the tab "symbols" you have to tic "removable media" and "harddiscs and drives" to see it.
