Remove the verbose description in mode line

Question

I started my Emacs Venture days ago with prelude.

but find that the mode line is verbose

UUU:----F1 scratch All of 144 (4,0) (EL guru FlyC- company ivy EditorConfig ws Projectile super-save SP/s Pre WK (*)) 9:20AM 1.67 Mail

I want to remove the part with parenthesis (EL guru FlyC- company ivy EditorConfig ws Projectile super-save SP/s Pre WK (*))

How could I get it done?

Answer 1

90% of the verbosity in what you show is the list of minor modes. You can use something like Diminish to simplify that. You should also be able to tell a minor mode that you don't care to see its "lighter" (its indicator in the mode-line).
