Can I delete the emoji 'key' on the Touch Bar of my 16 inch MacBook Pro, and if so, how? Thx!

Thanks, but I don't see that there's a way to get rid of the smiley face ib the touch bar. What you sent shows how to ADD emojis but not how to remove the option. I would like to do away with the option altogether!
Any more suggestions as to how to remove the emoji option?
Thanks!

At the present no touchbar in front of me.



Each app has to build its own specific functionality for the touch bar. Depending on what view you’re on (i.e. composing vs reading email) on which app (mail vs safari) there is typically an option to "customize touch bar" in the menu on the top left of your screen that will be specific to that view.


Customize allows you to pick certain things you can add to your touch bar. Emojis are available in Mail and Safari (in addition to messages).

Your options are limited here is an out side take on the touchbar as well:
