Just delete it. Well, make sure you have a good backup "just in case",
but there's no reason to suspect you'll have any trouble (I never have
and I've deleted _lots_ of spurious desktops, 'though I always make sure
I have a backup for "good luck").

I've had a bit of trouble when deleting the Desktop's Templates\
directory (oops, "object", it's at \Desktop\"OS!2 System"\Templates\),
so you can use any of the alternate deletion methods -- DelAll, DelTree,
drag to a floppy and then format the floppy, whatever.

After deleting, run UniMaint Repair then CheckINI then CleanINI to clean
up your OS2*.INI files.
