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?

One of the answers in that thread mentions how to remove them by using a different configuration.yaml file, instead of the default_config. But you would have to manually add the other integrations that you do use so they show up, and any future ones as well, but that seems to remove them, not hide them.
