Possible "moisture detected in the charging port" error on Samsung Galaxy S10+

A few weeks ago an error message popped up on my phone: > Warning: Do not use charging/USB port We've detected moisture or > foreign material in your charging/USB port. Check your charging/USB > port for any foreign material such as dust and debris. To prevent > damage to your phone, don't plug anything until charging port is > clean, the moisture is gone, and the notification is cleared. The issue is that the phone was laying on my desk when the notification first occurred. There was no water near the phone and it never got wet. I used a can of air to clear out any possible dust but there was none that I could see. I have tried to restart my phone but the notification has not cleared even after a reboot. I do not want to poke around in the charging port with a pair of needle nose tweezers. The only way the phone will charge is wirelessly which is inconvenient, especially in the car. I believe that this is some type of bug in the script considering it popped up out of nowhere. I do not want to factory reset, is there a process that could clear this manually through the operating system?
