There's no setting to disable it, but you can deselect Backdrops on your library image fetchers settings so it won't be scraped for any items going forward. For existing items, ensure that no items named:

Quote

Backdrop	backdrop.ext, backdropX.ext
	fanart.ext, fanart-X.ext
	background.ext, background-X.ext
	art.ext, art-X.ext
	extrafanart (subfolder)/fanartX.ext

exist next to your media or in server metadata folder. You can do a search on OS level and delete existing. 

Edit: For local Web app only, should be possible with CSS. @Happy2Play

Something like this

div.backdropContainer {display: none;}

Copy and paste that code in App Settings-Settings, Custom CSS box.

But as mentioned only applies to the web client (not the online client or and other platform client).

Big thumbs up, that worked!

many thanks!

Yes for the web client you can do many things with custom css.

Web App CSS - Emby Community

And just to be completely contrarian, backdrop fans like yours truly can really emphasise them -

- while darkening the bit behind the text so you can still read it.

Is There an easy way to delete all the fanart/background that are in Emby?

Depends on if you save with media or not.  Search library for fanart/background depending on your image names and delete via the filesystem and scan library to update the database for removed images.

If not same steps searching /metadata/library.

Or per library/multi-select all libraries Refresh w/replace images / Refresh Search for missing w/replace images

But you need to ensure you have set backdrop images via fetcher settings to 0.  Setting is per library.

What about the display setting or I'm I missing something?

Or do you need to disable them in the Library all together?

That is for backddrops while browsing (Home Screen/libraries) not item backgrounds.
