There is this annoying and useless icon pinned to the Windows 11 taskbar that I cannot figure out how to remove:

When I hover over it, it shows "Desktop 1" and "New desktop". I want this icon gone. Right-click does nothing. How is it done?

This is done a different way in Windows 11 but still easy.

Right click on the Task Bar and select Task Bar Settings.

You can turn Task View (Desktop 1) and Widgets and other things OFF as you wish.

Review all the items (4) and enable / disable what you wish.
