Hello,

The only way to remove any widget or applet from the KDE desktop taskbar i=
s via Right Mouse Click -> Show Panel Configuration -> Hoover with the Mou=
se Cursor to see pop-up window with option for each widget/applet -> Remov=
e

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

That is it ...
