I can't find any explanation for the red numbers on the Files icon in my Ubuntu dock. What is this trying to tell me? It looks like this:

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.1 with the Ubuntu dock extension enabled.

if you select on the clock on the middle of the screen at the top, it will show the calendar and the notifications. Likely there is a notification from the files. Select that, then you will clear the notification. The number should vanish after that.

had the same issue on Manjaro gnome, disable the "show icon emblems" option on dash to dock settings

I'm using Ubuntu 23.04. To disable this number, It was my solution: setting -> notifications, select 'files' -> and set off 'notifications'
