What is the magic potion for removing the status bar in VS 2015?
In my environment it has the following options:
Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8) - BOM
Content type: CSharp
Classification: None
Thank you.

This is not the status bar but an additional information injected by a plugin.– Pierre ArnaudCommented Feb 2, 2016 at 10:37

Sven was seeing this additional information above the status bar:
This information is added by the Extensibility Tools 2015 plugin. The settings to turn off what is called the Editor Margin can be found under Options > Extensibility Tools > General:
Setting the value to False and restarting Visual Studio 2015 hides this information.

Unfortunately I don't have enough rep points to vote. Once I do I'll come back and make a valid vote. Commented Feb 9, 2016 at 19:38
Click on Tools > Options > Environment > General and uncheck the Show status bar option.

Thanks, but that doesn't do it. I'm referring to the status bar above THAT status bar in my environment. When I clear the check box above as you suggest the IDE stops displaying the line, column and character numbers. What I'd like to remove is the status bar (perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology) which displays the encoding type, the content type and the classification. Thanks for your time.

I'm afraid I don't have sufficient reputation points yet to be able to do that, but it's a bar at the bottom of the editor with the elements I detailed in my original post. The visual layout is: editor on top; 2nd is the encoding bar that I'd like to remove; third is the bottom dock bar (right now I have the Package Manager Console there); on the bottom is the status bar.
