I didn t find this solution here  It removes all of it using the cowplot package  library cowplot   p   theme nothing     theme legend position  quot none quot     scale x continuous expand c 0 0     scale y continuous expand c 0 0     labs x   NULL  y   NULL   Just noticed that the same thing can be accomplished using theme void   like this  p   theme void     theme legend position  quot none quot     scale x continuous expand c 0 0     scale y continuous expand c 0 0     labs x   NULL  y   NULL

As per my comment in Chase s answer  you can remove a lot of this stuff using element blank   dat  lt - data frame x runif 10  y runif 10    p  lt - ggplot dat  aes x x  y y              geom point             scale x continuous expand c 0 0              scale y continuous expand c 0 0       p   theme axis line element blank   axis text x element blank              axis text y element blank   axis ticks element blank              axis title x element blank              axis title y element blank   legend position  none             panel background element blank   panel border element blank   panel grid major element blank              panel grid minor element blank   plot background element blank      It looks like there s still a small margin around the edge of the resulting  png when I save this  Perhaps someone else knows how to remove even that component    Historical note  Since ggplot2 version 0 9 2  opts has been deprecated  Instead use theme   and replace theme blank   with element blank

Current answers are either incomplete or inefficient  Here is  perhaps  the shortest way to achieve the outcome  using theme void     data diamonds    Data example ggplot data   diamonds  mapping   aes x   clarity     geom bar aes fill   cut           theme void     theme legend position  none     The outcome is       If you are interested in just eliminating the labels  labs x     y     does the trick   ggplot data   diamonds  mapping   aes x   clarity     geom bar aes fill   cut            labs x     y

Late to the party  but might be of interest    I find a combination of labs and guides specification useful in many cases  You want nothing but a grid and a background  ggplot diamonds  mapping   aes x   clarity        geom bar aes fill   cut        labs x   NULL  y   NULL       guides x    quot none quot   y    quot none quot     You want to only suppress the tick-mark label of one or both axes  ggplot diamonds  mapping   aes x   clarity        geom bar aes fill   cut        guides x    quot none quot   y    quot none quot
