How to remove this button from the MacBook Pro Touch Bar?

Hi, could anyone tell me what is this button on my control strip?

And most importantly how to get rid of it?


It is there regardless what app is open. If I click on it, it expands with no options (no buttons are shown).

It is absolutely useless.
