title: How to remove overlap of objects in Adobe Illustrator?
body: <p>I've tried every option in the Pathfinder tool. No luck there. I have a red bar overtop an icon that has a circle as a background. I'd like to remove the sections of the red bar that overlap the circle. The objects are on the same layer, and I'm selecting the circle and the red bar before I click on the various Pathfinder options. </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions as to what mistake I'm making? Thanks.<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GcMi1.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">enter image description here</a></p>
