Remove Toolbar from QGIS Toolbars Menu

I'd like to know how to fully remove a toolbar in PyQGIS, so that the toolbar is not only no longer visible in the toolbar area, but also no longer listed under the View menu (View > Toolbars) or when right-clicking on the toolbar area.

It is easy enough to remove a toolbar from the main window toolbar area using iface.mainWindow().removeToolBar(toolbar). This will also remove it from the listing that is shown when right-clicking on the toolbar area. However, it will not remove the toolbar from the View/Toolbar menu.

toolbar = QToolBar('Test Toolbar')
# Add to main window & to 'View' menu
iface.addToolBar(toolbar)
# Remove from main window
iface.mainWindow().removeToolBar(toolbar)
# 'Test toolbar' is still visible in 'View' menu

How can I make it so that the toolbar is no longer accessible from the UI?

If anyone is still looking for an answer to this question, and has a need to remove the toolbar without destroying it, you can remove the toolbar from the View/Toolbar menu as follows.

toolbarMenu = iface.mainWindow().findChild(QMenu, 'mToolbarMenu')
toolbarMenu.removeAction(toolbar.toggleViewAction())

To remove the toolbar from the toolbar area, I found that iface.mainWindow().removeToolBar(toolbar) did not work if the toolbar is not destroyed. I had to call toolbar.hide() and toolbar.setParent(None) to force the toolbar to actually disappear from the QGIS toolbar area.

calling deleteLater() on the toolbar object schedules it for deletion and completely removes it also from the view -> toolbars menu. Note that you won't be able to further use the toolbar after that, for example re-adding it with iface.addToolBar(toolbar) will not work.

toolbar = QToolBar('Test Toolbar')
# Add to main window & to 'View' menu
iface.addToolBar(toolbar)
# Remove from main window & 'View' menu
toolbar.deleteLater()
