It's part of Default Folder X, a third party utility that you have installed. Note the DFX.app button at the top of the window?

Where is the Delete tool in the Finder Toolbar The macOS 12.0.1 Finder Windows LACK a Tool icon which, when clicked, will DELETE the selected item. In previous OS'es, the tool was a Trashcan, or a "slashed circle" – and I could go to View > Customize Toolbar, to find it, and drag it into any Finder Window. But not in macOS 12.0.1. What have you heard about this vital Tool? TIA.

Empty dropdown menus on Finder Hello, After upgrading to macOS Catalina, my Finder window has 3 new squares that look like a dropdown menu but they don't do anything when I click on them. I don't remember seeing them before, and I'm not even sure where to start looking for what could have caused them to show up. Any ideas on how to fix this or where to start looking?

Finder windows with searches not shown at finder icon window list Hi, I do not know if it is a bug or feature... Running Catalina 10.15.4 in an iMac Retina If I have several finder windows (with file listings) open, they all show up when I right click the Finder dock icon in the top open window list. As it should be. But if I make a search in one finder windows - either on a local drive or a remote, mounted volume - that file windows is deleted from that open windows list. After I close the search, that file window reappears in the open window list. Is that as it should be? regards, Claus Bitten

That appears to be a third-party extension. I've never seen it on my Macs.

What "flap" are you referring to? Can you post a screen shot?
