When creating presentations in beamer, those little symbols that you can click on and will take you to different parts of your presentation are automatically included on your slides.

I don't like that, but decided not to try and change it for now. The problem is that when I gave my presentation to my supervisor to revise, the first thing he did was cross the symbols out in red, meaning: take this out!

What should I do? Is there an easy command to get rid of those symbols or do I have to change the theme of my presentation to get rid of the symbols?

    While I'd agree that the navigation symbols aren't really what @Vivi was likely to want feedback on, I must commend her supervisor for his aesthetic sense.

    Supervisor's right! 99% of the time, those symbols are only good for advertising your use of beamer.

In addition to Michael's way, there is the slightly different

\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty

that I've been using in my preambles.

    Michael's answer uses a general mechanism, and generality is good. But, I do like this one for its self-documentation.

It can be done with one quick command! Just put

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

before your \begin{document} to clear the navigation symbols.
