There is a circular purple icon with a white arrow inside that is displayed on top of some of these folders in the root folder. What does this icon mean? It's on the sbin folder, for example. (btw, I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux and will likely ask some awfully-phrased questions at some point on here)

Those are links (shortcuts to someplace else in the filesystem).

Does that mean the folder itself is ONLY a link and does not actually contain files...it just links to another folder or file? – soccerfan0822 Sep 28 '21 at 03:16
