Translucent shortcut icons tuck to side but persist on every screen

[Android Central Question]

I'm on a Pixel 4a with Android 12. Sometime back, after an update, I get two persistent icons that always tuck away and are partially hidden on the right or left sides of the screen.

One is a BitWarden icon, but when I tap on it nothing happens. The other is a green hamburger dot icon. When I tap on it, a variety of shortcut icons for Assist, Accessibility, Power, Volume and so on show up.

I can move them around but I cannot delete them. When I long press, it does not give me the option to remove them.

The icons constantly get in the way of navigation and text entry. Is there any way to remove?

Welcome to the forums. That sounds like Accessibility shortcuts. Go to the Accessibility settings and see which options/apps have the shortcut enabled.
