Is there a way to remove the autopopulated dashboards from the sidebar? Not per device. (lemmy.ca)

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?

Your quirky quest to quit using quizzical words is quite strange...

I'd expect that a dashboard / sidebar item could be available only if that module was installed - like Integrations for example.

I use the Energy but not Climate, but in the future I might install it, likewise I might remove an existing one.

I don't see this as a big problem, but I do agree that automatically adding them can be annoying with multiple phones / tablets / etc.
