I frequently get a popup box saying File Operation Progress.
Another small box shows on the upper right side.
When I right click it, a box opens saying "File Operation Progress.'
What is that and how can I stop that?
That is the indicator which shows you the progress of your caja file operations ( like file copy and such ) by means of one or several progress bars.
Yes, that is what every indicator does.
Why yes ! That is its function: To show you the progress of the file copying 
Explained above
Don't use caja to copy files 
Seriously now: Why would you want to stop that ?
Don't you want an indicator that tells you how much time is remaining when copying files ?
You have been living with this indicator for almost 10 years !
What makes it suddenly an issue for you (after so many years) ?

Caja is using a copy dialog with a slightly different title.
Are you using Thunar? Some related question is posted here (no solution yet, though).

I agree with you, this popup is very useful. Anyways, it should be possible to deactivate it, I can take a look if necessary.
I would appreciate that.
No, I do not need an indicator.
You should use dconf-editor, /org/mate/caja
I am checking the options and I don't see the exact option needed to change this behaviour. There is a hack which is not elegant, and I don't recommend. I have not tried it, so I don't post it. I hope you are lucky and find the solution, if not, I can search further, tell me.
That's not a Caja problem. Caja is not using the "File Operation Progress" popup, as shown above.
Thanks.
It might be a Thunar issue.
I will do some testing.
