Can I remove an app icon from the menu bar?

I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you meant the Dock. From my research, you can only remove the Shortcut Icon in the Menu, if you first remove the shortcuts designated in it.

Open Shortcuts.

Click on "Menu Bar" in the left side panel.

Then right click each item and choose "Remove from Menu".

After they are all gone, you can drag the shortcut icon off the menu.

Hold down the Command key and click and drag the Shortcuts icon from the menu bar until an "X" appears over it and release.

This may have been covered by other folks, but it seems you need to uncheck Menu items in the Shortcuts>settings> sidebar AND remove any Shortcuts that you have in that menu bar folder in the sidebar . Then it will go away.

I've got two Malwarebytes icons on the top menu ribbon on my new MC2 Macbook Air purchased a month ago. (OS Sonoma 14.5. I can't drag them off. They both show a distortion that looks like an exclamation mark (I think to tell me my app isn't active as I'm using the free version). When I drag them off the ribbon holding down control, instead of an 'x' they show a The ISO 3864-1 prohibition sign - the 'no symbol'

Any ideas?

I can't find the app anywhere but Applications and the shortcus icons on the menu ribbon. Not in shortcuts or

Next I will delete the Malwarebytes program and reinstall.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Pen

I removed the Malwarebytes program from Applications, deleted the trash, and restarted. One icon disappeared, but the second was still there. I right-clicked it and uninstalled the app a second time from the options available from the icon itself. Was directed to an MB survey and when I came back, the ghost icon was gone.

You should be able to just drag it off. Drag it a couple inches into the desktop area, then let go of it and the icon will be removed, yet the app still fine in Applications.

Disregard — Randall_2023 has it covered.

Your welcome.

Hold down the command key and user the cursor to pull it out of the menu bar.
