How to remove the "Add World Clock" in the notification area?

  • 772

I'm on Ubuntu 20.10 and in this update, the events show at the bottom of the calendar along with the add world clock option as in the screenshot below.

enter image description here

I know this got here because of I installed "gnome-clocks" but I use clocks option quite often but not the world clock. So, I would like to remove the option to add world clock without removing the gnome-clocks package.

Any help would be appreciated!

    'use strict';

const Main = imports.ui.main;
const DateMenu = Main.panel.statusArea.dateMenu

class RemoveWorldClocks {
    constructor() {
    }

    enable() {
    DateMenu._clocksItem.hide();
