I have the same problem. It seems the empty icons cannot be deleted as they are no apps but just temporary - now empty - links for the upgrade to Android 10. This looks pretty ugly and should be fixed asap.

I found a possible solution for the problem in the following conversation:

Yes, three times so far, cause they reappear randomly.

I had these icons, they went away after restarting my device but came back hours later. Restarted again, icons gone, icons back later yet again. The next day my phone died completely & I made this thread: /t5/Xperia-XZ2/Android-10-might-kill-your-phone-do-not-update/m-p/1400382#M4781

Phone still dead, nothing works, not even system reset with the help of PC Companion. Be careful everyone!!
