    The board view is organized by a column, and empty buckets of board view are generated by values of this column. It's by designed, there is no option to remove it.

    You could submit your suggestion in the feedback portal.

    There is a way to do this. It is non-intuitive and really should be on the bucket as an option but there is a way.

    Go to Edit in grid view -> select the board choice column -> Column settings -> Edit
    In the Choices section you can change the order of the buckets and delete them as well

    Save and then exit grid view after you are done to get back to the board view.

    Now an out of the box feature is available to hide a bucket.
