    Remove ""Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media"


    Is there any way to remove the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon? I tried with the batch file & changing in the settings but both do not work, batch file gives me an error and in settings, it just does not appear in "Turn system icons on or off".

    Also if this is needed, I'm running windows version 20H2

    Thanks, :)

    It should only be present if you have a device inserted.

    Further you can choose to put it here so it's not immediately visible:

    If you put it there it shouldn't annoy you.

    This is the option you should see:

    - notice it begins with Windows... are you saying you see this, but it doesn't let you hide the icon?

    You refer to a batch file. Could it be the one in this article?
