Reecently I suddenly spotted this odd little flag in the top left corner of my image. I have never seen it before and I have never been able to re-produce it since. The image consisted of just one empty pixel layer in normal mode.

Can anyone tell me what this is please?

The icon indicates that you have one slice. The way you got it was to click the Slice tool, probably accidentally. To hide it go to View menu > Show > and uncheck Slices.

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud desktop to the Photoshop forum.

Thanks Jane. I never use slices. So I had no idea!

I'm a pen addict who's a very clumsy keyboard user, so I am good at turning stuff on and off without realising.

You're welcome @DavidMacDo

Slices is a feature that was used many years ago to split a large image into smaller images so they could be optimized for the web separately, then reassembled in a table with html. Tables have been replaced with divs in xhtml.

I've gone to the Edit menu > Toolbar and moved both the Slice tool and the Slice Select tool to the "Extra Tools" section, as I have no use for them these days.
