I'm new to CC (coming from years of using CS3). I don't need these 3 functions circled in red, which are always there.
Please can someone help me to remove and disable them from appearing?
Very grateful for any help. Thank you.

Actually, the two adornments on the frame itself can be hidden under View > Extras >  Live Corners and Anchored Object Control I believe.

The bottom right one on the layout frame to split the layout frame? That cannot be removed, I think.

Even if you disable the menu command for that function.

They are integral to frames and have been for quite a few revisions. There's no way to turn them off, but then, there are many such controls in layout view. You can switch to Preview mode and turn most of them off except for selected objects.

Oh.

However, I would argue that turning off controls is a very poor idea. I've seen too many posts (over time) by users frantically trying to find such controls noted in tutorials and help. It's not a completely clean interface in layout mode; take it as it comes unless you really know what you're doing. And a jump of some fifteen years demands a little learning/adaptation by users who want to make the most of, well, 15 years of enhanced features.
