How to get rid of a vertical line in the editor pane of IntelliJ Idea?

recently a gray vertical line appeared in about the middle of the editor pane of my IntelliJIdea Community Edition 13.1.4 probably due to some manipulations with the settings that I cannot remember. I cannot find how to get rid of it, which is annoying. Who can help? enter image description here Thanks.

I came here looking to solve this same problem and none of the above answers helped me. In my case, there was an ".editorconfig" file in the root of my project that overrode all the settings of my IDE. I just deleted all instances of "80" in there and I finally got rid of the visual guide that was showing at column 80 (which is way too short of a line for modern IDEs, btw).

Hopefully, this can help someone.

In version IntelliJ IDEA 2022.3 (Community Edition) Build #IC-223.7571.182, built on November 29, 2022

You can browse to: File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Appearance

Uncheck "Show hard wrap and visual guides (configured in Code Style options)

Or optionally if you really don't want to browse this long, just search on top left search option as "Hard wrap" or "visual guides".

Updated answer:

Go to Preferences → Editor → General → Appearance and uncheck Show hard wrap and visual guides.

Settings window 2020

Original answer:

Go to Settings → Editor → General → Appearance and uncheck Show Right Margin.

Settings window 2014

You can also configure where the right margin is in the code style settings.

Settings -> Editor -> Code Style

you can find 'Hard wrap at [value] columns'.

230 columns is good to me.

For PyCharm 2017 and aboce it was moved, but can still be done by:

Editor > Color Scheme > General. Then in the new control to the right, open Editor > Guides > Hard wrap guide, and uncheck the checkbox for "Foreground".
