There is an empty space in the Menu Bar. I am unable to identify what it is. I can't even remove it. I tried with Cmd and moving it out. I have restarted my Mac. I restarted the Menu Bar with the terminal command.

Screenshot of the Finder Menu Bar with a blank icon/space

Zoomed in portion of the screenshot to better shot the blank icon/space

  • In the absence of an actual question, I'll go with identification: if you have Xcode installed, Accessibility Inspector (Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Accessibility Inspector) might identify it for you, using the "target an element" crosshair tool close to the top right. – Redarm Sep 27 '23 at 22:54
  • Its saying status menu – kumar gaurav Sep 28 '23 at 12:32

    Have you noticed any app that is now missing in the status bar ? and that could have lead to this blank space ? – tama Sep 28 '23 at 13:13
  • @kumargaurav Is there nothing under "hierarchy" at the bottom? – Redarm Sep 28 '23 at 15:23
  • I am not aware of xcode at all. i just followed instructions. can you please elaborate a bit on how to check the hierarchy? – kumar gaurav Sep 29 '23 at 05:58

    @kumargaurav Sorry for not being clearer in the first place. If you enlarge the window shown in your screenshot, a lot more information will be displayed and at the very bottom (scroll, if necessary) the "Hierarchy" often mentions the application's name. – Redarm Sep 29 '23 at 08:33
  • Thanks a lot for the clarity. Attached screenshot with hierarchy. – kumar gaurav Sep 30 '23 at 10:21

To identify:
With Xcode installed, "Accessibility Inspector" (Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Accessibility Inspector) may identify it for you, using the "target an element" crosshair tool close to the top right.crosshair tool

After launching the application and targeting the menu item in question with the above mentioned tool, enlarge the window (shown in your 3ʳᵈ screenshot) and a lot more information will be displayed (as shown in your last screenshot). At the very bottom (scroll, if necessary) "Hierarchy" often mentions the application's name, which in your case is "ClipTools".
