Do you have AutoCad installed? If that's the case, see this thread for a
solution.

If not, then download the script below and run it. Post the results here.
This script lists all the negative icon references present in the registry,
and creates a log file for troubleshooting.

found the culprit
since I cannot see which application it is, I used ccleaner and uninstall the
application
and the black space is gone
