      Hi everyone,

      An icon representing battery power level is always present on the right upper corner of my screen.

      Does anybody knows how to remove it ?

        Hi!

        It sounds like your system is displaying a battery indicator overlay. To remove it, try the following based on your setup:

        1. If Using EmuELEC or Batocera:
          Go to Main Menu > UI Settings and look for an option related to battery display.
          Some themes have battery indicators enabled by default—switching to a different theme may remove it.
        2. If Using RetroPie on a Handheld Device:
          If you have a script generating the overlay, check your /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh file for any battery-related commands.
          You can disable any script running cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity or similar.
        3. If Using a Custom Theme in EmulationStation:
          Some themes hardcode battery icons. Try switching to a different theme under UI Settings > Theme.
          If the icon is part of the theme, you may need to edit the theme’s XML files (located in /etc/emulationstation/themes/your_theme).
          Let me know what system you're using, and I can give more specific steps! 😊

          You can usually hide it in the system settings! Check your “Display” or “Status Bar” options — there should be a toggle to turn the battery icon off. What device or OS are you using?
