Deleting Additional Clocks

(last updated September 14, 2015)

After you've added an additional clock or two in Windows, you may no longer have need for them. You can easily delete any additional clocks without affecting the system clock maintained in your system for Windows. Here's how you do it:

  1. Click once on the date and time in the Notifications area at the right side of the Taskbar. Windows displays a calendar and clock.
  2. Click the Change Date and Time Settings link. Windows displays the Date and Time dialog box.
  3. Make sure the Additional Clocks tab is displayed. (See Figure 1.)

    4. Figure 1. The Additional Clocks tab of the Date and Time dialog box.

  4. Clear the Show this Clock check box that corresponds with the additional clock you want to delete.
  5. Click OK to close the Date and Time Settings dialog box.

That's it! The additional clock no longer appears when you click the date and time in the Notification area of the Taskbar.
