Deactivate classic search box?

I have quite an old subsite of a Sharepoint where I can't figure out how to make the classic Sharepoint

Search on the Top Right (next to the Navigation bar) dissapear:

I tried to hide it with the following command but this command only seems to affect the search bar in the top middle section. For other subsites this command worked so i am confused: 

 

Set-PnPSearchSettings -SearchBoxInNavBar Hidden

 

Any idea what i am missing? I also tried to change a lot of search-settings in the site settings of this subsite but with no luch. 

SharePoint Online

    There are several points to consider:

    • This setting only applies to the search box in the suite navigation bar. It doesn't apply to search boxes that are in the page, or to search boxes on classic pages.

    Source: Show or hide the SharePoint search box 

     

    Also check if it helps: SharePoint Classic pages and Microsoft Search
