          removing the clock is not possible unless digging the core files of gnome-shell files which is very difficult.



          instead you can hide it by editing ubuntu.css file.



          Disclaimer: playing with gdm3 files is very dangerous, small mistakes will stop access to gnome desktop session. Only tty will work. i have several times reinstalled Ubuntu in such cases. although i have successfully hidden the clock-display on lock-screen. proceed with your own risk.



          open the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css with below command.



          sudo -H gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css


          search for "screen-shield" and find the below content



          .screen-shield-clock-time {
          font-size: 72pt;
          text-shadow: 0px 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
          font-feature-settings: "tnum"; }

          .screen-shield-clock-date {
          font-size: 28pt;
          font-weight: normal; }


          then make the font-sizes to 0 like below



          .screen-shield-clock-time {
          font-size: 0pt;
          text-shadow: 0px 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
          font-feature-settings: "tnum"; }

          .screen-shield-clock-date {
          font-size: 0pt;
          font-weight: normal; }


          save the file, close and reboot.
