After upgrading to OS X 10.11 I have two weather widgets (one, maybe, is inactive). So, is it possible to delete the blank one? If yes, where or how I can do this?

7 simple steps to solve the problem (works even in OS X 10.11.1):
- Go to
/private/var/db/locationd/
from your finder or terminal; - Give you full privilege to change files inside this folder;
- Convert
clients.plist
file from binary mode into xml1 by running this command in your terminal:sudo plutil -convert xml1 /private/var/db/locationd/clients.plist
; - Open the clients.plist and remove the key and dictionary pair in the configuration file. For my case I delete all fields that includes
weather
word; - Don’t forget to convert back the
client.plist
into binary file using the command below in Terminal:sudo plutil -convert binary1 /private/var/db/locationd/clients.plist
- The prelast step is to restart the daemon that monitor the change of location. Type this command in Terminal:
sudo killall -KILL locations
; - Finally
com.apple.ncplugin.weather
disappeared from Location Services, I reaccepted to check my weather by location and everything starting to work perfectly.
