A shortcut is a small file guiding you to the original. Often used to gather programs of folders on the desktop for quick use whit out filling the folder with large data. You can see it's a shortcut by a small white box with a blue arrow on the icon. You can not "remove" the shortcut other than deleting it.
By placing the original file it self in the location of the shortcut you might brake a program.
