    Hi, actually, it's your battery icon that refers to the power icon (it's in the battery format because your notebook has one). This triangle is called "dropdown arrow", which is the default for the GNOME interface. I don't like these arrows scattered around my system, so I use this extension to get rid of them.

    The version on extensions.gnome.org works fine on 3.38, but the latest version from the Git repo must be used on 40. It's just one command, it's simple. Gnome Extensions | GitHub
