You could refer to the following code (C# code) to set the chrome options and remove the infobar.

        var edgechromiumService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"E:\edgedriver_win64", "msedgedriver.exe");
        // user need to pass the driver path here....
        ChromeOptions edgechromeOptions = new ChromeOptions
        {
            BinaryLocation = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe",
        };

        edgechromeOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("useAutomationExtension", false);
        edgechromeOptions.AddExcludedArgument("enable-automation"); 

        using (IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(edgechromiumService, edgechromeOptions))
        {
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.bing.com/");
            Console.WriteLine(driver.Title.ToString());

            //driver.Close();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

The result like this:

For Java applications, please try to use the following code:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; 
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;    
import java.util.*;  
public class Edgeauto {
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "your\\path\\to\\edge\\webdriver\\msedgedriver.exe");
        ChromeOptionschromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
        chromeOptions.setBinary("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge Dev\\Application\\msedge.exe");

        chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
        chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches",Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));

        EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions().merge(chromeOptions);
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(edgeOptions);
        driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
     }
}
