Edit: It happened again today, but this time, it's a volume with 483 MB. So, with the answer from @AnonymousCoward987654321, knowing it was a deleted snap, I searched again here and found this: Suddenly a new mounted volume appears, how to remove it. I'd say that this finishes the puzzle.
Original research below.
Not really an answer I suppose, but I'm adding my own research here because I've got the same thing today. But before sharing everything I checked, I'd like to add that restarting made it go away. Anyway, here's everything I found out before that:
- Hovering over the mounted volume, I could see the path (mountpoint):
/media/<USER>/disk
- Using
df --all
(or lsblk
as suggested in the comments by @Serg), I found out it was loop6
(/dev/loop6
)
- Since it's new, I suppose (with a huge grain of salt) it could be related to updates. So I'm also sharing recent updates (with some anonymization on user and times). I believe if it's really related, it should be the newest, but it's possible it was there since yesterday and I just didn't notice before:

Adding to that, running apt list --upgradable
, I could check that those packages were not upgrading themselves, which could be related in some way (some pre-update check code that was not cleaning up after failing kinda thing?):

I did end up installing/upgrading them manually, but with no apparent result.
