How to remove the colored indent area guide in VS Code?

Question

How I can remove this area guide in VS Code?

Answer 1

Another option is to mute the extension, so that you see more traditional indent guides. In settings (currently) you have classic and light indicator styles. Choose the light style. Also consider adding an entry to exclude all file types from highlighting errors (which will show up in some shade of red colorization otherwise).

Classic style (default):

Light style:

Note:

Both of these settings can be added to your settings.json. Typically it is easy to work with the GUI version of the settings editor in VSCode, but in some cases (like the ignoreErrorLanguages) you may have to edit the settings in settings.json directly:

"indentRainbow.indicatorStyle": "light",
"indentRainbow.ignoreErrorLanguages": [
    "*",
],

Answer 2

That does not look like the built-in indent guides of VS Code.

That looks like you have the indent-rainbow extension installed:

Just disable or uninstall the extension.
