Ok, I checked my ".emacs" file again to ensure I don' the line 

(load "auctex.el" nil t t).

Then, I restarted emacs, enabled the tool-bar-mode and switched to
latex-mode. Then, I issued the `M-x customize-variable
TeX-bar-LaTeX-buttons RET', but it gave me the error for not being able
to find the command.

I experimented a bit and figured the following works:

'M-x customize-variable RET TeX-bar-TeX-buttons RET'

Then, I deselected the `[separator nil]' thick box as you suggested and
then I pressed 'Apply and Save' button. Restarting the emacs with
latex-mode and enabling tool-bar-mode (I disable it by default to gain
screen space), I can confirm that the vertical separator button has
gone.

I guess this is the workaround I was hoping to find; thank you so much
for the help, I appreciate this.

Best,
Sureyya
