On the right side of "file view" window there is a skinny column of multicoloured "icons".
These are not in "Bookmarks" view.

1. What are they ?
2. How did they get there ?
3. How to get rid of them?

Eclipse Oxygen latest ( 3?) version.

An annotated screen cap would help here. You're not sure what you're describing, so we're not sure what you're describing.

True, but if the description is not sufficient - how will a picture be any different?
It is no shame to admit you do not know what I am referring to, but
if you cannot help why are you replying?
No, picture or youtube video is not available.
Cheers

You've heard the saying: A picture is worth a 1000 words? I too have no clue what a "file view" window is---there's no such view with that name as far as I know---so shame on me for also replying. In any case, I feel compelled to point out that Nitin is kind enough to answer a multitude of questions on this forum. I don't think it's a shame that neither of us understand what your talking about. Nor is it a shame that you've not been entirely clear in your terminology and description. But it's most certainly a shame that you behave this way with someone who is trying to help you.

Update

It should be a "vertical bar " of ? function.
Pausing the mouse at white space gives "line #" and clicking on it moves the main view to the line .
Sort of short cut.
The blue icon seem to indicate "been there / done that ".
The yellow icons are generally warnings at specific line.
Perhaps it is build by compiler /linker - maybe there is a setting option somewhere.

There is a similar info on the left side , but it is not bar, just individual icons.

That's the editor's Overview ruler. The Annotations preference page should help you figure out what this markings are for, if hovering over them doesn't reveal any popup description text.

I see, by "file view" you mean an editor window. The vertical bar on the right has a context menu for Preferences... in which you can control the kinds of information that is displayed. I don't think there is a preference not to show the bar at all. In any case, anything that is configurable will be configurable via preferences...
