missing icon in menu bar after upgrading to Big Sur

After updating to Big Sur (version: 11.0.1 20B29), I noticed that there are some invisible icons in my menu bar. I did not know what those icons are either. I tried to remove them using `command` key but it did not work.

I am wondering how to remove them because they are really disturbing me.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

Cannot change folder icons Reinstalled MacOS Big Sur 11.6 last week (had to do an initial install with MacOS mojave from internet restore then upgrade). I now can't seem to change the folder icons. When pasting a new image to the folder icon I am left with this generic icon not the picture: Anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? I have tried searching forums and google but not much luck as the word "icon" just produces loads of results which are not relevant. Thanks

Double System preferences icons after upgrade (?) to Big Sur I just upgraded my 2020 intel 13" macbook pro to big sur. Now I have double System preferences icons. One appears to be new with big Sur. For some, only one of the icons is functional, and for some, both are functional. I did reinstall the Big Sur OS, but it did not help. Anyone else have that issue? Any suggested solutions?

Menu Bar Items keep moving after Start Up I'm not sure what I did in the last few weeks to see this but after booting up the Mac mini 2018, the first Menu Bar Item seems to be 1 item towards the left, then followed by a space, and then all other items. I've enclosed an image. When I click in the empty spot, nothing happens, like there's nothing there. I can also move the first item (Command, click Menu Bar Item) and place it in the empty space. Is there a fix for this? I'm running Big Sur 11.6.4. Is there possibly a folder, that could also be hidden, where I can see all of the Menu Bar Items? I already checked here (/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras.) and it seems only Apple Menu Bar Items are in this folder... Thanks.

FWIW, they are most likely third-party apps that are not coded correctly for Big Sur. To remove them from the menu bar you may have to uninstall them. No idea what they may be. You'll have to see what is running.
