How can I remove the keyboard layout icon from the wingpanel?

Question

I want to remove the keyboard layout icon from the wingpanel, a white block which is useless for me in there.

I have already tried DConf-Tools following the instructions given in this answer, yet I cannot make it work.

Any help will be much appreciated.

You can remove the keyboard indicator via the command line

sudo apt remove --purge wingpanel-indicator-keyboard

Or via any package manager remove the wingpanel-indicator-keyboard package.

this works! You can also use this to hide/remove other indicators example: sudo apt remove --purge wingpanel-indicator-power removes power/brightness indicator

Just leaving a comment that this still works in 5.1 Hera. I'll add the Juno and Hera tags to the question to make this clearer to others.
