I am pretty sure the floating action button is an app controlled setting. I turned mine off in ES file Explorer. It also happened after I took a picture one time. It is a quick action link to something be it a webpage or notification by an app.

Thanks for circling back and letting us know the problem! Did you decide to uninstall the app, adjust the settings, download a different app, or utilize another workaround?

I just turn off ES Swipe from inside the setting of ES File Explorer.

Thanks for posting this. I was tearing my hair out uninstalling apps trying to find the culprit. Eventually I found this post by screnshotting and google image search.

Not surprised... ES File Explorer got caught pulling a lot of crap with ads and even replacing user lockscreens with their own ad laden lock screen. The blowback cost them A LOT OF USERS who left and went with other file explorers. Try Solid Explorer. A lot of folks went with their app, you can customize it for most anything; even appearance and color...

I can't find ES File Explorer on my Samsung 7. Is it hidden somewhere?

It's the gomobile app and it's a dick of an app what were they thinking.
