What does this notification icon mean??

[Kari Lewis]

A few days ago I noticed I was running low on internal memory, so I uninstalled some apps. When my phone restarted, there was (is) a icon up top, on the left, that looks like a box (maybe a SD card) with a exclamation mark in it. I have no idea what it means, and it's driving me nuts lol.
I have a cricket lg stylo 2, if that helps, and it's all up to date.

This is probably gonna be a stupid question, but how do I add a picture? <<<new member, first post lol>>>

Thanks so much . Added a screen shot to my original post.

if you pull down the notification bar is there a notification?

 

[Kari Lewis]

No, nothing. It's just the icon.

No, nothing. It's just the icon.

What kind of apps did you install? Any Cleaner or memory booster app? If so, I would recommend you to uninstall or at least disable them and see if that icon is still there.

It appeared after I uninstalled some apps. I think it was a few camera apps, reddit and another news app. As soon as they were uninstalled, and I restarted my phone, that icon appeared and hasn't gone away.

When you pulldown the notification bar, long press on that icon and see what it says.

When I pull down the status bar, the notification isn't there (see screen shot).

That definitely looks like some kind of cleaner/booster/anti virus app that you have installed. Long press that first notification and tap on 'app info' to see which app pushed it. Also, what do you get if you tap on 'more' in the second notification?
