- Open Files (aka Nautilus)
Grid view: Change your icon view from "list" to "grid" first by clicking the button next to the hamburger menu.
Zoom out: Click on the hamburger menu (three-horizontal-lined button at top-right) and decrease the icon size by clicking the "zoom out" button (or Ctrl+-).
This should also reduce the size of the icons in your desktop.

Thanks. That's really help. But before, you need to change your Files view from List to Grid first. Then you can edit the size of icon there.

You can also resize icons by right clicking on each icons and select resize. Then you resize it up to a certain allowed minimum.
