How to manage the icons in the top bar (14.04 & metacity)

Question

I've installed Virtual-box and this icon appeared in the desktop top bar.

enter image description here

I know how to add icons with drag & drop but how to remove one?

When trying to drag&drop it in the desktop trash icon, I have a pop-up saying that I don't have the permission to put it in the trash.

Did you try to remove by drag & drop again or right-click and somethings like remove, etc? — αғsнιη, Aug 14, 2014 at 13:48
@KasiyA: Yes, but it triggers a copy of the short-cut on the desktop. — COil, Aug 14, 2014 at 13:49

Hold Alt while right-mouse clicking on the said icon.

A menu should then appear giving you the options to either move it or remove from panel.

If it's not worked use both of Logo+Alt. the key Logo is win logo key on your keyboard.
