This includes virtual devices. it should be pretty easy to find the
offending mountpoint but you can post the output here if you arent sure.
It's on the desktop, but doesn't show up with ls -l. There are seven
icons on the desktop, but only four of them show up with ls -l, even
though it says there are 12 items:

That makes perfect sense. By default the XFCE desktop will add icons for
things like removable drives, the home folder, and a trash icon. You can
select which of these you want to show in the settings. I usually
disable a few of them just because they clutter up my screen. Note that
those icons are not actual files so they won't be visible to ls.

MY EYES. TOO MUCH USELESS INFO IT BURNS. Whoever thought it was a good
idea to pack all of that into mountpoints needs to be SLAPPED.
Ranting aside all we are interested in are the lines at the bottom.
Generally speaking the only relevant lines in mount these days are your
drives and stuff at the bottom. Every time a drive is detected and
mounted, it shows up at the end of the list until something else is
mounted, or it gets removed.
These 2 mountpoints catch my attention
tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=802224k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000)
gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
gvfs is used to dynamically mount a lot of stuff without having to be
root and tmpfs is used to mount a portion of your RAM as a storage
space. 800MB of RAM is being set aside for whatever is in that folder.
Can you ls /run/user/1000/gvfs and see what's inside? Anything juicy?
