Removing "Getting Started" parts from SharePoint Online WebPages

On SharePoint Pages we see an area titled 'Getting Started' (screen below). I am trying to find out best ways to remove this.  It doesn't seem to be a webpart which we can be simply hidden. Please suggest safer ways to remove it. Is it possible to set it's property at collection level so that we can hide it for all pages instead of doing it page-by-page.

 

 

 

 

 

  • How did you add the WebPart there? I see your page has been customized and this can be done in two ways: manually or programmatically. Can you try to open de WebPart maintenance page appending to the page url the following: ?contents=1
