How to get rid of this mobile text and chat on yahoo?

I just noticed that on the left of my mail, above my folders, there is this new mobile text and chat box. It says available, invisible etc. I have it set at unavailable, but how do you get rid of it completely? I unistalled yahoo messenger for a reason, now they put this on here for people to irritate me. Does anyone know how to completely remove it?

    Yahoo help screens say:

    "How do I sign out of/disable chat?

    • 1. Under “Chat ” on the left of the page, click the menu to the right of the words “I am”. This opens a pull-down menu.

    • 2. Click Sign out of Chat .

    Since Yahoo!7 Mail remembers your settings from session to session, you'll be signed out of chat until you change it."

    I followed this and it seems to stay signed out OK so you can forget it's even there.

    I also used the 'Settings' option under Chat to tell it to locate the chat window under my folders so it's less in the way and I don't even see it anymore.

    I also wrote to Yahoo to tell them that they should give us an option to get rid of services we don't want....especially as I am on the paid Yahoo, not free version.

    You can't get rid of it completely unless you change over to NEW Yahoo Email instead of Classic. You can SIGN OUT, and it supposedly will remember that you are signed out, but you can't make it disappear completely.

    you could no longer. It aggravated me lots that I wrote to Yahoo help, and that they got rid of it, yet when I closed my e mail and back day after immediately, it regarded back, and remains there. you in basic terms could desire to neglect approximately it.
