What version of Ubuntu, are you using?

On UbuntuMATE 20.10, I right clicked (non-dominant mouse button) on the 
trash can icon in the taskbar, and it brought up a menu, in which the 
"Remove from panel" was greyed out, so, I unchecked the "Lock to panel" 
option, then the "Remove from panel" option was available for use.
