Occasionally I get a circular pink icon over the bottom row of icons. It
has what I would call a folder with a downward arrow. It will not move.
It also covers the Spacebar when I try to text.
Re-start clears it, but I would like to know what causes it.

  That the downward arrow is a download symbol has already been
suggested and has been confirmed by your screenshot of the icon, but
(AFAIK) the most obvious question has not been asked/answered:

  Have you looked in your Downloads (or Download) folder to see if there
are any recent files which might give a clue about which app did what
and which might point to the culprit app that's giving the pink circle
download icon on the home screen?
