Macos – Screen sharing icon stuck in the menu bar

macos

I have a problem with the screen sharing icon being stuck in my menu bar. I've restarted my computer, killall'd my Dock and done anything else that's come to mind, but I can't get the item to go away.

It's the item on the far left. Here's a view of what the submenu looks like:

I can tell that it's a glitch in that I have identical settings on another Mac of mine and I don't have this problem. Also, it's quite odd that there's a random separator item in the submenu.

Best Answer

Hold the ⌘ (command) key and drag the icon off of the bar.

Interesting tip: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ is filled with various menus items that you cannot normally access, or are hard to find. Just double-click a *.menu item to add it to your menu bar.
