Image Stuck on Screen - 'Update is Ready' - Unable to delete
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowWindows 7 context menu not disappearing after selecting an optionWindows 7 Not Recognizing Camera Nor iPhone as CameraTooltips shadow stuck on desktopxperf trace of ATI driver causing a 1 minute freeze while changing resolutionChunks of tooltips get stuck, where the screen isn't refreshing, I guess. (Windows 7 Professional x64, 1-2 monitors)Force full-screen scaling on a Radeon-powered laptopCant set monitor resolution to 1920x1080, chooses a nonstandard resolution insteadStutter while gaming every 3-4 seconds in Windows using MacBook Pro 2012 (MacBook 9.1) using Windows 7Windows Update errors on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64JetBrains suddenly stopped working on second screen
I'm unable to figure out how to delete the above hanging graphic.
As far as I can tell, it appears to have been stuck on my desktop from some previous software I've already deleted/uninstalled from my PC.
It's been months since it's been there at the lower right corner of the screen and and I've attempted changing screen resolution to try to make it disappear, but that only placed the hanging image more towards the center of the screen making it ever more annoying and unbearable!
How can I get rid of it?

Free Sound Recorder Updater is probably causing this
From your comments, it seems to be Free Sound recorder which is the culprit. Check for it at: C:Program Files (x86)Free Sound RecorderFFProductUpdater.exe and you can deal with it using either of the methods below.
Using FRST
Checking for the phrasing of the suggested update gives another user who had a similar problem to you:
My issue is the following:
A window opens when my computer starts: It is labeled "Update is ready> Update and benefit from enchancement and fixed."
(original in French - Google Translate version)
(image from above thread)
Recommended there is the Farbar Recovery Tool (another Google Translate link), which the original user says solved the issue.
There was a suggestion that Lightshot or Free Sound Recorder may have been to blame.
Or use msconfig
If you are not keen on using a potentially foreign-language tool, you can use msconfig to see what items are being loaded on startup:
Open the
Rundialog (Win+r)Type
msconfigand hit EnterGo to the
Startuptab and uncheck items you are suspicious of
It will look something like the following, but likely with additional entries:
(example msconfig Startup section with one entry from a Virtual Machine)
'Suspicious' is an admittedly broad / vague term, but loom for entries that seem to be updaters, or are from software you know you have removed, or that you dont recognise (do a web search for these before disabling/removing them).
tl;dr: Possibilities include Lightshot and Free Sound Recorder as potential culprits. Use FRST or msconfig to disable whatever caused this
