hard drive icon looks like time machine icon

I have Venture 13.4 on a MacStudio. I have an external USB disk that works properly for Time Machine. But one of my external disks (MacHD3 in a Thunderbolt enclosure) also has the Time Machine icon assigned to it. As a result, for example, DxO refuses to find any photos on this disk. The disk is NOT listed as a Time Machine target, and there are no Time Machine directpries on the disk (but there is lots of other stuff).

There was a hidden file .Time machine supported (or something similar) that I deleted. But the icon has not changed. How do I fix this?

Open the Get info pane (Command i) hightlight the icon in the upper left, and try Commnad Z— if it does not return to a generic icon copy and paste your more preferred png or jpeg image.

the icon is not going to affect your files.
