Hi.

Does anyone know why is there a red cross on the icon here?

This device is a Corsair USB flash drive. I initially thought it may be because the data was corrupted as there were a couple of years where it remained unconnected and I know SSD does not like that. But I formatted the drive (ExFAT) and it still shows up with a red cross in Nemo file manager.

Any idea what this actually means?

Thanks for any insight.

    For reference, this is what the “Checking for Updates” page on the Pop!_OS store looks like for me. This icon feels out of place, that’s why I assumed this is a placeholder that replaced the correct icon that went missing due to some kind of minor problem with my installation.

      Thank you, this was helpful. I’m also using Pop!_OS, so this reinforces my belief that it’s just a graphical issue. I also see this when checking for updates sometimes.
