Windows 10: Taskbar annoyances

I have 3 monitors on my computer however I only want the taskbar on two of those monitors. Is there a way to turn it off for one specific monitor.


Basically, the problem is that the monitor is quite small so the taskbar on it takes up a lot of space and I only really use it for placing applications I would like to always see there.


I cant see this as an option in windows but hopefully, that is just me, if not does anyone know of a program that I could use to do this for me?


Thanks!
