I just noticed that I have a "dotted" icon in my bookmarks toolbar. I can't delete it. When I open the "show all bookmarks" drop down, the icon and its name does not appear on any list. Clicking it does nothing either. Dragging it to the task bar results in this address: https://mail.google.com/_/scs/mail-static/_/js/k=gmail.main.en.gR9s6Qup5vU.O/m=m_i,t,it/am=nBHD_b_7g8gZ7tIH1f7977tLmp29p_93JgASdgLg_2b_D6L3wD4oPzQ/rt=h/d=1/t=zcms/rs=AItRSTPjFxlbHXV7TNISYocUKqXavTPUtA.

I think "Wyciwyg" refers to a cached page. Can you right-click that bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar and Delete it?

If not, perhaps it isn't a real bookmark? You could try using the Customize feature to remove it if it's a button. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize
  • right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
  • right-click the "+" button on the tab bar > Customize
  • tap the Alt key: View menu > Toolbars > Customize

Your actual bookmarks are consolidated into "Bookmarks Toolbar Items". Is there another item after that?

Note: When using the Library dialog (Show All Bookmarks or Ctrl+Shift+b), you would need to click Bookmarks Toolbar on the left to display the contents of the toolbar.
