“How do I get rid of that search bar from the task bar on Windows 10?”
The new Windows 10 search bar does take up a lot of space on the task bar so let’s remove entirely or at least make it smaller.
1. Find an empty space on the task bar and right-click on it with your mouse.
2. Scroll to ‘Search’, a menu appears with a few options.

3. Choose ‘Hidden’ to completely remove the search function from Windows 10 task bar. Choose ‘Show Search Icon’ to display only a small icon, this is my personal favorite because it still gives me the search functionality without taking up to much space on the taskbar. To bring back the search bar choose ‘Show search box’.
As you can see removing the search bar from the Windows 10 taskbar is pretty quick and painless.
