Removing clock from the Menu Bar in BigSur

Hi All


Is there any way to remove the menu bar clock in BigSur?


In System Preferences under Date & Time, the clock tab is missing.


In System Preferences under Dock & Menu Bar I can't seem to do more than to minimize the clock by using the Analogue option, but cannot remove it entirely.


Has this function been moved elsewhere, has it been removed or is this a bug?


Thanks for any help whatsoever.

Good tip actually, rOck, thanks for pointing that out, I always hid the Apple menubar clock, since I use a 3rd party app called The Clock, and it was driving me nuts trying to turn off Apple's clock. Making it into the tiny analog will suffice for now, until someone figures out a Terminal command or something to remove it.


For those wanting to know how to toggle Apple's Clock from digital to analog:


System Pref: Dock & Menu Bar: Clock (near bottom), Time Options: Analog
