Google Chrome Apps is definitely a very useful feature. However, for those who don't use Chrome Apps, that little button in the bookmarks bar can be annoying. Fortunately, it's easy to remove.

The “Apps” button is a default option found on Chrome’s bookmarks bar. When you click this button, you are taken to the chrome://apps/ page, which is a launcher for web apps installed from the Chrome Web Store. However, for those who never visit this page, there is little need for a permanent button in their browser.

What needs to be clarified is that the Google Chrome “Apps” button is not the same as Chrome “Extensions,” which are accessible via the “Extension” menu in the upper-right corner of the browser. What is being removed is essentially just the “Apps” button.
All you have to do to remove the Apps button is:
First, open the Chrome browser on your Windows, Mac , or Linux.

Then, right-click anywhere on the bookmarks bar or on the “Applications” button itself. From here, a menu will open, from which you should uncheck “Show application shortcut”.
The “Apps” button will disappear from your bookmarks bar.
Sure, the Apps button isn't a huge problem, but if you don't use it and have a lot of bookmarks on your bar, you need the extra space that removing it will provide.
