So my question is like in title. I want to turn off flycheck minor mode for all files in directory.
I have specified in my .emacs file that it should be on in c++-mode, c-mode and few others, but I don't want this rule to apply to one given directory.
Preferably I'd like to turn it off using .dir-locals.el file.
My knowledge of lisp code is very limited and since specyfying
(remove-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode) hasn't done anything, I don't really know what should I do to get the effect I want.
Well you wouldn't want to remove the hook, as that's a global effect.
You can disable the mode on a per-buffer basis, though. Use the eval pseudo-variable. e.g. a .dir-locals.el like this would act for any/all major modes:
((nil . ((eval . (flycheck-mode 0)))))
Local variables are processed after mode hooks, so this should reliably counteract your existing code (n.b. I've not tested this).

1Sadly this didn't do a trick for me. I found partial solution though with
((c++-mode (flycheck-disabled-checkers c/c++-clang c/c++-gcc)))so that will do for now. – dotPoozer Feb 16 '16 at 2:08 -
Curious. I don't use flycheck, but I just tested my approach with
linum-mode, and it works as expected for me (in Emacs 24.5). Perhapsflycheck-modeis non-standard in how you disable it? (although that seems unlikely). – phils Feb 16 '16 at 2:24 -
Now tested with flycheck too, which is also working as expected with your hook and my .dir-locals.el file. – phils Feb 16 '16 at 2:27

When I put your code, and only your code, it worked, so I'm guessing it's because I don't really understand how elisp works and rest of my code was causing the problems. I was putting it like this,
((c++-mode (irony-additional-clang-options "libs") (company-clang-arguments "libs"))) ((nil . ((eval . (flycheck-mode 0)))))– dotPoozer Feb 16 '16 at 2:28 -
And it's working. I'm really not sure what was malfunctioning. And why. All I can say is thank you for helping ;] – dotPoozer Feb 16 '16 at 2:34
