How to get rid of the headline in beamer

How to remove the navigation of sections and subsections on the top of each slide generated from a beamer latex file?

By the way, in my preamble, I wrote:

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\usepackage{beamerthemeshadow}

I don't know whether this is what you want, but if you are talking about the navigation bar which has the symbols you can click on, this is the way to go:

\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty

Funny, that is the second time you ask this....

By the way, you might want to check this for a question/answer website focusing on LaTeX.

The section navigation at the top of the frame is part of the headline. The easiest way to remove it is to change the headline template.

The line \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} is unrelated to the sections in the headline, this will remove the little symbols at the bottom right if the frame.

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\useoutertheme{shadow}

\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}

\begin{document}

\section{title}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

The stupid way to make sure the presentation structure does not show up, (independent of theme) comment out the \section and \subsection commands.

Beamer has different themes you can use, some of which include that navigation bar and some of which don't. The default theme, for example, doesn't include any navigation bar. All the themes available with Beamer are described in the user guide; just pick one that suits your requirements and use it:

\usetheme{default}

for example.

If you want to alter an existing theme to remove the navigation bar, you can try setting

\useoutertheme{default}

and see if that gives you a look you like. If not, you'll probably have to get into some theme-specific manipulations. The information needed to do this is in the user guide I linked to above.
