Why can't I crop out the address at the top of my screenshot?

I've been taking a lot of screenshots lately, cropping out the unnecessary stuff, and using what's left. Today I tried this and got the image I wanted, but with the preview tools, "Screenshot 22-02-24" etc. still in the image.

I've tried this with several images and it's always the same. I can reduce some of the image content, but still get that bar at the top.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Are you talking about in Preview's window or tab bar? Because it wouldn't be in the screen shot image.

Thank you: it does appear in the screen shot image I see on my computer and I don't think it did before, but maybe I was wrong. Yes, when I actually use the image it goes away.
