Hi Jackie, Yes, that's indeed the most safest way. I always use that method from the system tray. Take care, and happy Christmas, Michael. The kindness you spread today will be gathered up and returned to you tomorrow.

If simply taking it out works for you, then no problem, but I have always just removed it through the System Tray.
