How do I delete recycle bin icon from my desktop?(Please read the details)?

Question

Currently, I am using windows XP. I just downloaded "Rocket dock" in my computer and I want my desktop to be empty. Everything is ok, but I can't delete the recycle bin icon. I tried "Shift+delete" but it doesn't work. If I right click on that icon, I don't see any option named "delete." What can I do now?

Answer 1

The recycle bin is not removable, unfortunately /=
