Unwanted desktop icon won't go away

Fri Aug 26, 2022 1:11 pm
5.18.19-200.fc36.x86_64
Just did a dnf update. When I rebooted I have a new icon with an image of a USB dongle "Most recent device". I can't remove it, I can't move it. If I click on it I get Storage Volume list of my hard disk. What to do?
Thanks

Can you post an image of this somewhere? it doesn't quite sound like anything from KDE or Plasma.

Is this icon on your panel, or the desktop? Can you right-click on it to view any options?

Mouse over says "Most Recent Device"
Right click: 3 radio: Removable, NonRemovable, All devices
chkbox: Show popup when a new device is plugged in
etc

It still doesn't 'feel' like a Plasma item, based on the right-click options, but maybe it is a desktop widget ?

Try left-click-and-hold and see if a control 'handle' pops out, where you will have various options, including one to remove it.

Buy that dog a beer :)
Left click(hold) added stretch buttons - so if nothing else stretch to the side and shrink ... and wal-la a side menu with a "remove icon" -buh-buh.
