Is it possible to get rid of the function folding margin on Notepad++? It seems like the sort of thing that should be in the prefs but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

In notepad++ v5.9.6.2 it's an option in the preferences. Under the "Editing" tab. They call it "Folder Margin Style". You can now select "none".
I think the more generic term for it is code folding.
I found someone else asking the same question on SourceForge
The solution is claimed to be:
If you go into langs.xml and comment out the Language tags for file extensions that you want, for me it's PHP, Perl and VBS, then restart Notepad++ and VOILA!!! No more annoying folder margins.
I hope it helps.

Hmm. All that seemed to do was disable most of the syntax highlighting. The folding margin is still stubbornly stuck to the side of the window.– izbCommented Aug 24, 2009 at 14:15

Well it's hard to find any reference of what your asking for :-( I wonder if Notepad++ calls folding margin something else... Commented Aug 24, 2009 at 15:38

2There are no options for hiding the folding margin. You can only change the style of the folding margin, unfortunately.– alexCommented Aug 25, 2009 at 10:38
You can add this macro to the Macros section of shortcuts.xml to make a shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H to hide the fold margin. I haven't yet found a way to make the macro auto-execute, so for now you just have to manually hide it for each buffer...
<Macro name="Hide Fold Margin" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="no" Key="83">
<Action type="0" message="2242" wParam="2" lParam="0" sParam="" />
</Macro>

Go to Settings ==> Preferences ==> Margins/Border/Edge
There you can see, "Folder Margin Style"==> Select "None"
