I have removed the telemetry consent but the window with the telescope on which "your project is currently empty" is still there.

How can I disable it?

Is there any package which removes it?

The panel with the telescope and the phrase "Your project is currently empty" is shown not by Atom itself, but by a package "tree-view". This issue is supposed to be fixed in version "v0.229.0" of the package. Meanwhile, you can just disable the package to get rid of the panel:

  1. Open preferences: Edit > Preferences (Linux), Atom > Preferences (macOS), or File > Settings (Windows).
  2. Select "Packages".
  3. Search for "tree-view"
  4. Click "Disable"

You can collapse the whole tree-view panel by: hover you cursor over the inner edge of the panel and a semi-circle with left arrow will appear in the middle; click that.

If you just want a blank tree-view panel instead (hide the graphic & buttons), you can add this to your stylesheet:

#add-projects-view {
  display: none !important;
}
