Remove block from layout XML in Magento 2

In more recent versions of Magento2, the remove method is now:

<referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="1column" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>
    </body>
</page>

This is important to know in case you are trying to do something more than just remove an element. Changing the namespace to layout instead of page_configuration may not allow you to do everything you are needing to do.


In the most recent dev branch of magento 2, try create view/adminhtml/layout/adminhtml_dashboard_index.xml

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-dashboard" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
    <referenceBlock name="dashboard" remove="true"/>
