What does this icon on the C drive of the Windows system mean?
I would like to ask about an unfamiliar icon that suddenly appeared on my C drive. I am unsure of its purpose. Does anyone know what it is? Could it be a system file, or is there a problem?

The blue arrow on the C drive icon indicates that NTFS compression is enabled for this drive. The lock icon indicates that BitLocker encryption is enabled.
