Hi, any hint to remove this sliver without using cutouts or increasing the clearance properties?

Move the trace up a little?
Okay, and without moving the track?
The same could be said about the copper islands. It would be also possible to move the tracks/vias to avoid them. However we can use remove island option in Copper Zone Properties.
This is only an example. Most designs have many slivers and I wonder if there is some cleanup option to remove it automatically.
You could change the minimum width of the zone in Copper Zone Properties.
Thanks! I like this workaround and understand that at the moment there is no option for cleaning-up these traces after doing the copper pouring.
Would a keep out work? Not sure why that copper bothers you. When you said no ‘cutout’ I didn’t know if you meant. Maybe a via without a net would block it. Other than cosmetic, do you have a reason for this?
EDIT: Most time the zone get refilled over and over as the board is worked. Not like you can just use an erasure. That is why I suggested just moving the track a little to block it.
I agree with @hermit . You can do a zone keepout which is not a board cutout.
But my preference (regardless of that zone sliver) would be to use wider tracks anyway. I like to use 1 mm tracks to 0805 resistors for example. I make them narrower when and where I need to do so. A wider track there would crowd out your zone sliver and also give you a more robust track.

Sorry, I wanted to say a zone keepout not cutout.
Yes, to avoid a Rx/Tx antenna.
