How do I remove unwanted third-party app from the menu bar in settings?

Hello!

I need some help to remove unwanted third-party app from the Allow in the menu bar section in settings.

The app is already deleted.

Is there a way to tidy this section up?

Typically you can hold the Command key and drag them off


if it is in the list of Log-in Items, remove them from that list

It did for me. I use a package tracking app and the developer released a replacement version for Tahoe. After upgrading macOS and installing the new app, both the old and new versions were in the Allow in Menu Bar list. Now (a few days and a restart later), the old one is gone from the list.
