Htaccess remove symbols from link

I want to remove 2 symbols "?&" from link https://www.example.com/?& by redirect it to https://www.example.com/.
I tried this

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}    "&" [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)  /$1? [R=301,L]

It worked but it removed also any really QUERY like https://www.example.com/?set=down&page=3

Below is the working rule

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^&$
RewriteRule (.*)  /? [R=301,L,NE]

You can test the same at result

In this solution we have matched the query string such that it if starts with & and ends afterwards then only rewrite happens.

For urls like https://www.example.com/?set=down&page=3 the rewrite condition fails and hence no redirection happens.
