(I later found this dup):Windows PowerShell: changing the command prompt

Answer 1

Just like Calculuswhiz mentioned, the following should work:
Function Prompt {" "}
Simply change it by adding anything else inside the double quotes.

Answer 2

Abraham Zinala's helpful answer shows that it is the prompt function - described in the about_Prompts conceptual help topic - that determines the string that PowerShell prints in interactive sessions when prompting the user for commands.
As Calculuswhiz notes, outputting the empty string ('') is not an option for not printing a prompt string at all, because PowerShell then defaults to PS>.
Printing a single space is one way to work around the problem, but that space does print. To prevent that, Dabombber proposes workarounds in a comment on Abraham's question, but the simplest solution as of Windows 10 is:
function prompt { "`0" } # Fully HIDES the prompt string.
"`0" outputs a NUL (null character), which effectively hides the prompt string, without side effects, including in Windows Terminal and ConEmu.[1]
On Windows 7, the NUL prints as a space, in which case Dabombber's alternative helps:
# A space followed by a backspace char. in effect amounts to the empty string.
function prompt { " `b" }
Add this function to your $PROFILE file to hide the prompt string in all future sessions.
[1] Verified on version v20.11.24.0. Dabombber mentions that ConEmu prints NUL characters as a space, but, given that ConEmu is conhost.exe-based, just like regular console windows, that applies only up to Windows 7.
