Windows 10: How do I decrease the width of the task bar to its normal state?

I am using Windows 10 Pro up to date, but for some reason the taskbar is wider than it should be. It is not locked but I cant collapse it to the minimum width for some reason. I can only drag it upwards. Any suggestions? Also, small icons are turned off, these are the normal sized icons, but I cant drag the taskbar more down still. Picture of the problem:

decrease height and width of task manager

Hi Anuj Chadha,

Thank you for the new video, in the new Task Manager, it is not possible to make the width of that section any smaller, they have set a minimum width on that new app, it would be best to post to that Feedback Hub and suggest to the developers to make this possible in the next update to that new Task Manager app.
