How to remove the function minimize sidebar in Visual Studio 2019

How can I remove the little sidebar to the left of the code in Visual Studio 2019? I mean the little minus signs that appear next to each function or code block header and, if clicked, minimize that function or code block.

Is there a way to disable these?

The feature is known as "outlining" and enabling/disabling it is language-specific. In all cases, use the "Options" command from the "Tools" menu and then, in the left-hand pane of the displayed pop-up box, open the "Text Editor" node.

For C/C++ files, the option is under the "View" sub-node: enter image description here

For C# files (and also Basic, F# and Python), it's under "Advanced": enter image description here

For other languages, it's likely to be in one or other of those places, but I can't guarantee that. In all cases, changes only come into effect on files that are opened after the option is changed.

If you have another specific language for which you can't find this option, just let me know and I'll try to help.
