Can't find a way to remove calculator widget from panel.

Any ideas?

To remove the unwanted widget, did the following made sure that panel is unlocked:
1. Left clicked on System Settings.
2. In System Settings, left clicked on Workspace Behavior.
3. In Workspace Behavior, left clicked on left clicked on Workspace.
4, In Workspace - System Settings, left clicked on Show Desktop Widgets, and changed it to Show an Independent Widget Set.
5. Left clicked on Apply.
6. Left clicked once more on Show an Independent Widget Set, and reset it to Show Desktop Widgets and left clicked on Apply.
I ignored all warnings.
7. I found that icons now can be moved I then as Doktor 5000 wrote clicked on the Calculator x that appeared to delete the Widget.

What desktop environment do you use?
For KDE, unlock the widgets, then click the "cashew" icon on the right edge of the control panel, then mouse-over the applet and click the X button to remove it.

Dear moshe, it would be handier, when you replied doktor5000's answer.
So without editing the solution into your initial message.

AFAICT step 1 to 6 are completely irrelevant.
