Blank space in front of file names, List view?
Windows 11, file explorer: I was viewing files in list view, selected a few, and accidentally clicked Copy as Path (I was aiming for Properties and missed). Now, ALL my files and folders in List view have this weird blank space in front of them. It's the size and place that a green circle check or blue cloud outline would appear in Onedrive files, but these are not OneDrive folders, just local stuff. What did I do and how can I go back? Thanks!

It sounds like you may have inadvertently enabled a feature or caused a display glitch in File Explorer, possibly related to a "Check mark" overlay or a custom icon overlay that’s now showing as a blank space. Since you mentioned this happened after copying the file paths and that it’s appearing in List view.
