+$ defaults read com.apple.systemuiserver
+
+```

+be cautious: in this command :menuExtra:1 refers to the second entry from the output of the previous command
+
+```
+$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Delete :menuExtras:1' ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
+$ killall SystemUIServer
+```
