I have this red number 1 next to my file manager in Fedora 38. No clue what it means or how to fix it

Hello all, I am brand new to fedora, so Im still learning the ropes. I've been noticing this red number 1 next to the file manager in the dock. Being a debian/ubuntu guy at heart, I don't quite know how to troubleshoot this. Hope you guys can shed some light; pic is below!

Warning: No matter what anyone tells you, do not use any rm command with the -r option and/or any wildcard charachers like * and ?, unless you understand the command fully.

Sound advice.

Completely agree although I love rm -r since it's way better than cluttering up my trash folder 😄

Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution

Good to know, thank you

but I heard rm -rf /* made my computer faster. (This is a joke never run this command. (outside of a vm that you are willing to kill))

You have 1 notification concerning Nautilus, be it a file copy was completed or the like. If you click the notification center (the Date/Time on the top bar) and clear out your notifications there the 1 should go away.

Yup that did it. but when I report the errors, nothing freaking happens. it just loads and loads and loads and hangs.

Right click on the 9 dots button -> Dash to dock Settings > Launcher > Scroll down > Show the number of unread notifications

It's a notification counter, kinda like phones have.
