How do I remove this $#@ circle thing from my Android phone screen?

In summary, the conversation is about removing a circular object with four square-ish objects on the top right of a device. The solution is to hit the "x" to the right of the PF thrives by the sharing line or to drag it to the trash. It is also mentioned that the object is a configurable option. A link is provided for further instructions on how to remove it. The conversation then moves on to discussing a battery issue with an HP 15 computer.
