1. Navigate to the Library configuration (library context menu: `...` \> `Manage Library` \> `Edit`)
2. Go to the `Advanced` tab
3. Disable what you don’t want to be available in your library (e.g. `Artist Bios`, `Album Reviews and Critic Ratings`, `Popular Tracks`, `Concerts`)

Usually Plex does not apply those settings retrospectively. So you’ll need to refresh the metadata for the change to take effect.
