Dear PF Forum,

Anybody knows how to remove the star?

I forgot when I unintentionally put that star, now I want to remove it. But I can't. Some websites suggest by inserting some HTML (or Java script? Can't tell the difference) script. Is there an easy way withouth signing off google?

Thanks for any tips.
