I need to remove an entity from the display.

With hook_entity_view_alter(), I am trying to change the $build array.

$build['disable'] = true;
$build['#entity']['disable'] = true;
$build['#entity'] = "";
$build['#entity']['#access'] = FALSE;

This is all wrong.

$build['entity'] is of type Drupal\eck\Entity\EckEntity and not a renderarray.

What is the correct way to hide an entity from the display?

$build['entity'] is of type Drupal\eck\Entity\EckEntity and no renderarray. $build['#access'] = FALSE; also does not work.

Which entity is displayed doesn't change the code to use. @Clive code is correct. If you have any reason for not using it, please update your question to explain that.

@Clive I updated the question. ['#entity'] is an object and not a render array. Thanks
