User level: Level 1 (4 points)How do I delete the black square icon on my screen. This used to be just for screenshot. With latest update it has changed completely🤨. And I no longer want it. I’ll go back to using the side click buttons for screenshot.

If it's a small floating button, it may be AssistiveTouch. Check Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and turn it off. If that isn't it, long-press the square and see whether a menu offers to hide it. A screenshot, as LotusPilot asked, would help confirm.

Can you post a screenshot here of the unwanted icon. With a full understanding of precisely what you see, contributors here will be better able to provide appropriate guidance.
You can upload your screenshot (redacted as necessary to remove any personal or sensitive information) using the image button seen at the bottom of the message editing window.
