How to get rid of the “Do Not Disturb” Menu Bar icon?

Question

My macOS menu bar contains a dim crescent moon shaped icon.

When selected, this menu drops down.

How do I get rid of this visual affordance?

Answer 1

Uncheck the Show in Menu Bar option located in System Preferences > Dock & Menu Bar > Do Not Disturb Note that you can also show the icon only when Do Not Disturb is active by checking the option and select when active option.

Answer 2

@tama's answer is correct, but as a quicker way you can also hold the ⌘ Command key and drag the icon out of the menubar to remove it.

This trick works with a number of the macOS system icons in the menubar.
