setting a vertical highlighted line off in vim

I am seeing a vertical highlighted line. It is independent of any syntax used. How can I remove it?

My ~/.vimrc is simple:

syntax on
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
set expandtab

This in a macOS-Mojave (10.14.6)

The line looks like this: vim highlighted vertical line

This is the colorcolumn. Some people like it because it helps them keep their line length under some number of characters.

You can remove it by setting it to nothing, like set colorcolumn= or just set cc=.

If it turns out you do want that functionality, you can add more lines (set colorcolumn=80,120,140) or change the color of the lines (highlight ColorColumn ctermbg=7 guibg=lightgrey), where the number specified in ctermbg corresponds to the colors listed here.
