Prusa Slicer has extra Object on the Platter

I'm just starting out and trying to learn the systems used to print models.  When I open Prusa Slicer there is an object already on the Platter.  I can select it and the corners show up on it like any other model.  There seems no way to delete it.  If I say Save Project it says there is nothing on the Platter.  If I add a model to the Platter, it loads fine and is distinct from the other Object, and can be printed without the other Object getting printed.  I will try to show a screen shot if I can here.

My question is What is This?

Thanks in advance for any help here.

It's the purge tower, it appears on all multi extruder build plates, but only materialises if the model includes more than one actively
