I never asked for "Lights" or "Security" and many other boards in my sidebar. Even worse, they seem to be getting more. Home Assistant used to feel clean to me, now I get Facebook vibes and a touch of devs way overstepping.

I read the only absurd solution is per device hiding of useless unremoveable dashboards and yet find users for years now asking to remove crap-dashs for good.

I have only one user (admin) and webinterface and would never ever like to see this ugliness again. I think it is overbearing, intrusive and invasive as Home Assistant doesnt give choice anymore to the user.

How can i fully remove the dashboards Lights, Security, Climate and Energy?

i think the problem with the these generated dashboards is not just unglyness but also a problem of administration. Lets say you build the craziest automations for your lights but every normal user can simply activate the lights-dashboard and turn any light on and off without any automation triggering. I have an agreement with my wife, that she does not do this, but as an admin, the pure posibilty is absolut horror 🙈

Entities with the „visible“ attribute set to „off“ do not appear in any of the automatically populated dashboards.

but do they still show up in mine own dashboards?

@AndLeoErd
Sure as you did add them manually.
