### Describe the bug

A long, invisible menu-bar item is left behind when attempting to remove a floating menu preset for managing menu-bar items, found [here](https://share.folivora.ai/sharedPreset/c6dcbba0-25ee-4c1f-ad5b-832b1579a738).

No Clue, Floating Menus

### Screenshots:

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. (You can just paste or drag them here)

- You can see here that an invisible BTT item sits next to the Time Machine item. ![CleanShot_2024-10-14.Ice.Menu Bar Layout-000847@2x](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/e/7/e75419a6c3a5bf28ac2130ff98b39695b7a32802.jpeg)
- And if I scroll over and place another item between the two invisibile items, for some reference on their size... ![CleanShot_2024-10-14.Ice.Menu Bar Layout-000849@2x](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/1/6/169702ba90291f09ed70a801793aac75c4007b66.jpeg)

### Device information:

- **Type of Mac:** M1 MacBook Air
- **macOS version:** 15.1
- **BetterTouchTool version:** 4.765 (2024101301)

### Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):

I imported the menu bar preset from [here](https://share.folivora.ai/sharedPreset/c6dcbba0-25ee-4c1f-ad5b-832b1579a738), and removed it after fiddling around a bit.  
When removed, a really long invisible menu bar item can be left behind, but I haven't figured out why this happens.  
After importing, and removing it two more times, I found that this issue doesn't happen every time; but I was unlucky enough to have it happen 2/3 attempts.

### Notes:

I hope this information is helpful, and hope a solution can be found.  
The only solution I've found is to quit BTT, because they only show up when BTT is running. But this solution won't work for me.

Keep up the good work, and have a wonderful day!!!

execute the "unhide all menubar status items" action once, then BTT will reset the state of the status items.

Thank you so much!!!  
BTT is the best tool ever, apparently so good it can fix itself sometimes!😉

Again, thank you so much!!!  
Keep up the amazing work, and have a wonderful day.

It's a standard action in BetterTouchTool:
