Where is the filament sensor located and how do I make sure it is empty?

I just got my (pre-assembled) CORE One, trying to get through the calibration, and I feel like an absolute idiot. What is the filament sensor? Where is it located? I am supposed to check that it is empty, but I can't find anywhere that shows where it is? "Is filament in the filament sensor?".

There's a long piece of orange PLA sticking out through the PTFE-tube, so I was guessing that no, the filament sensor is not empty. I ran Unload, and not much happened (some filament was extruded, but the whole PLA-piece is still there. Running the unloading again yields nothing.

What am I supposed to do at this step?

Best Answer by ofwgkta:

I could just pull out the orange filament and start fresh with the included Galaxy Black one. Friendship with frustration ended, Prusa CORE One is my new best friend.
