While installing a new external hard drive, an icon for my Mac HD suddenly appeared and even though I went into Finder Preferences and unchecked all of the devices listed, it still remains. Also, how do I get the icon for the new external hard drive off the desktop and into my app folder?
iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.11
What year iMac? My 2015 runs the latest version of Monterey (12.3.1) beautifully.
If you can, I'd suggest you upgrade to a more modern OS with greater security and more features and maybe solve your problem too.
The Application folder is for apps, not drives. I guess you could try dragging it there.

Found my own solution.
