Bing search engine

The Bing icon is in the upper right hand corner beside the address bar. I read on the internet that Google is responsible for this ?
Which is it? The taskbar is at the bottom of your screen. The address bar is in your browser window. Change your search engine to whatever you wish in I assume Google Chrome.
It is in both locations. Does it pose any risk, should I get rid of it ? How would I delete it ?
As I said, in your browser just change your search engine to whatever you want. I would have to see your task bar because i don't have what you are talking about.
However, if its inside the search bar. then right click on taskbar, click on search, disable search highlights to get rid of bing.

Actually, it is outside the search bar, upper corner, at the edge of the monitor
Bing is Google's latest search engine, so I am wondering if it is even necessary to delete it ?
I have already wasted too much time and was unable to revert back to the original Google search engine.
So why didn't you include that in your original post? This is why I requested the damn screenshot, you would have gotten your all your answers 2 days ago. You kept saying google and bing. I assumed you meant you were using Google chrome as your browser. That Bing icon is actually called Discover in Microsoft Edge.
To get rid of it, please follow the instructions on this page. It does work, I just did it. You must follow everything it tells you to do as it involves editing the registry. There is supposedly another way but it doesn't work for me on 2 different machines.

How to disable Discover Bing button in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge includes a Discover feature that draws a Bing icon in the toolbar. Depending on your browser version, it may appear as a purple star icon.

The only way I could get it to work was the registry edit. It may work for you though.
