What is the gray bar on the upper left on the Origami Theme?

A look at the HTML says that it’s a div called “social slider”. I presume that it’s expecting facebook icons etc. Is there some mention of that in the theme’s admin?

The only items under social are:

Share Post Enabled
Display post sharing on the single post pages.

Twitter Username
Recommend your Twitter account after someone tweets your post.

Have you tried deactivating plugins to explore whether any could be responsible?

Thank you madfatter member I found a plugin called social slider, deactivated and it is now gone! ??

Thanks Andrew, you read my mind. It did work!
