Hello,

The only way to remove any widget or applet from the KDE desktop taskbar is via Right Mouse Click -> Show Panel Configuration -> Hoover with the Mouse Cursor to see pop-up window with option for each widget/applet -> Remove

This feature (button) has been there by default since KDE 3/4 . . .

That is it ...
