Can anyone advise how to remove a meta-separator?

The meta-separator in one of the footer widgets appears to originate from the functions.php
I think it is a relic of two sample items in the footer being removed - now there is only one. (so no need for a separator - •)

Have added a child them and child css - is it possible (and how) to hide this meta separator (•) using css?

What is a meta-separator? Usually for footer stuff I copy the main theme's footer.php into your child theme folder. Play around there until I see what I need.

This - is a bullet point >>> •

and in the main theme's function file it is where it is referred to.

If you are OK with editing the functions file, you can put a copy of the original in the child theme's folder and edit that copy.

If it causes unwanted results, just delete the child theme's copy. If it resolves the issue without any problems - great! Editing can help us learn, so long as we leave a way out of it.
