For MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and all subsequent releases, refer to the Related Solution linked at the bottom of the page.

For product releases prior to MATLAB 7.0 (R14):

If you would like to remove the entire figure toolbar (all buttons), execute the following commands to open a new figure window and remove the toolbar:

fig = figure

set(fig,'Toolbar','none')

This removes the entire toolbar and not specific buttons.
