I want to disable some of the default nodes, such as exec, so they don't appear in the node palette on the left. How can I do that?

i fixed it [image] Select which nodes to show in interface General Hello, Is there a way to select which nodes to be shown in the UI for the user to work with? I tried to remove some of the files associated with the installation of node-red but it did not work. I was wondering if it can be done for example using settings.js. Thank you in advance!
