using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI; // Namespace for Unity's UI system

public class EnableAndDisableText : MonoBehaviour {
    [SerializeField] Text text; // Text that you want to disable

    private void Update() // Called every frame
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) // If the 'E' key is pressed,
        {
            text.enabled = false; // Disable text
        }
    }

}

I got a error ```error CS0116: A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods``` – Lumic Aug 09 '20 at 04:55

Maybe text.SetActive(false); could work? or Destroy(text);?

I see the question is 3 months old but I hope this still helps;
