Hide Notification Center button from menu bar in High Sierra How do I get rid of the Notification Center button in the menu bar in High Sierra?

It's that one in the far right:



I'd like the space it occupies to disappear too. Apparently it used to be possible to hide the icon but the space would remain.

Also, I want to continue using the Notification Center; currently I access it with a gesture on my trackpad.

The answers to Remove the Notification Center icon from the Menu Bar do not work for me in High Sierra.
The Bartender app allows you to hide and rearrange menu bar icons - it may work for you.
