CMD drag it outside the menu bar

I remember a silly thing that if you had deleted your vpn before checked the box to not show there, the stupid icon would just stay there forever.
recreate a vpn , uncheck the setting and then remove the vpn profile.

You can usually just grab a hold of the items while holding down the command key, and the drag them to either to the spot you want it to be, or totally off the menubar.

EDIT: oh, btw. You can take a screenshot by hitting cmd+shift+3 (whole screen)
cmd+shift+4 (window, or if you hit the spacebar right after you can select a portion of the screen) or
cmd+shift+5 (gives you a bunch of options like video and delay timers)
And if you add a ctrl to any of those the screenshot will be saved to your clipboard instead of your desktop.

Something like Bartener can hide menu icons.

Cool I will add it to my menubar

Right click → Quit?

Even better… searching for “VPN” within settings takes you right to the setting…

It happened to me too. I figured out how to remove it.

Thanks for the tip. I could have taken a screenshot and uploaded it but I wasn’t logged into Reddit from my Mac and didn’t feel like air dropping the screenshot and uploading it. So just took a pic from my phone.

Can’t because there is no quit option.

16

You figured it out after 2 people gave you screen shots and steps. lol.

Thanks for saying thanks! It’s so nice to see Redditors being grateful :slight_smile:
