How to hide unused widgets in block manager?

[AA15]

Blocks/widgets are one of the key features that make Invision Community great. However, I don't use them all and would like to hide the one's I don't use or don't want to use so that the ones I do use are quicker and easier to reach. How can I hide widgets/blocks from the block manager?

If you open the Block Manager (a small arrow in the left hand side of the screen), you can generally add or remove blocks.  

There are also some hardcoded blocks, that either can't be removed or are controlled via ACP settings.  

If you can take a screenshot of the specific block, we can advise on how to remove.

Remove the moderator permission to manage sidebar blocks for all your moderators. They won’t see it it use it. For you, just don’t use it. 👍

 I want to get rid of all of these, under system, as I don't use them at this time. How can I hide them?

Just don’t use them. Leave them there. Remove permission from moderators ans life goes on. 

You’re requesting something that doesn’t exists and can be easily avoided by just not using it!

Ah I understand now, thanks for your clarification.  @Adriano Faria is correct, you cannot hide these since this is a system default.  

You probably won't use the Block Manager very often, once you get your community configured.

You have to enspect and use the custom.css but you would do something like this:

[data-blockid="app_core_newsletter"] {
	display: none;
}

Note that this SHOULD only affect it in the sidebar block manager but I haven't tested it. You have to get the IDs yourself and do this manually though.
