Don't delete or you will lose all you apps.

 

Bring up a terminal.

 

Then carefully type the following substituting your "username" below (ie what you login as):

 

cd /

sudo mv /Users/YourUserNameHere/Desktop/Applications /

 

I'm assuming it may be like this:

 

sudo mv /Users/awan/Desktop/Applications /

 

 

You'll be prompted for you password.

 

That's it.

These are *nix (UNIX/Linux) commands.

 

And it does my heart good that you want to touch the command line. :P

As "everyone" says, "Google is your friend".

 

For those links i just typed in "osx command line".

 

Good luck!
