Is there a way to remove the annoying black circle when using an android emulator in android studio?

Android Emulator Screenshot

I was planning to use an android device emulator since I cannot use my physical one but I suddenly encountered this black round circle and I find it annoying, is there any way to remove this? Last time I used the android device emulator, it wasn’t there.

I tried disabling the camera and skin of android device but it’s still there.

    First, Delete the emulator, then Delete the "Cutout hole" parameter in the device skin layout file line 16

    You can access the skin folder by clicking on "Edit AVD (pen icon)" -> show advanced settings -> "…" (three dots next to "Device Frame") but its generally around /Users/yourusername/Library/Android/sdk/skins/pixel_6_pro/layout
