How to delete mystery countdown/ timer in player?

Hi Lisa, 

Thanks for sharing the file here with us. I saw the same thing when I opened up your file, and nothing that would indicate where it was coming from - although it looks different than the normal Storyline timer you'll see in the link Michael shared. Did you possibly import in a Quizmaker quiz or slides from Presenter?

I took your file and imported it into a new .story file and the timer element was no longer there, so I'd recommend doing that on your end to ensure it's removed. 

Go to the results slide and disable the timer as described here, under Step 4: https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/adding-result-slides-in-articulate-storyline-2 

Hi Lisa, 

First, just an FYI that replying via email will include your signature here so you may want to edit the post to remove the information. 

If you're able to share the .story file we're happy to take a look and see if we can figure out where the additional timer is coming from. 

Thanks very much - have edited my message  and am attaching a zipped file.  Since I contacted you I did add a question - but the timer existed way before I did that.  I notice that it is a 10 second timer so it might be related to a quiz timer.  Thanks for your help!

These slides might have come over via Presenter, though I don't think I created any quiz questions; simply don't remember.  I will pull it into a new story file.  Thanks very much for your help.

Yup - then it's likely lingering element of the Presenter course, so importing should solve your situation.
