          Rename customer_listing.xml to customer_custom_listing.xml and also update the new filename in NameSpace/Module/view/adminhtml/layout/customer_index_index.xml



           <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
          <referenceContainer name="content">
          <uiComponent name="customer_custom_listing">
          </uiComponent>
          </referenceContainer>


          Now you can delete the below lines from customer_custom_listing.xml to remove the button.



          <item name="buttons" xsi:type="array" >
          <item name="add" xsi:type="array">
          <item name="name" xsi:type="string">add</item>
          <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Add New Customer</item>
          <item name="class" xsi:type="string">primary</item>
          <item name="url" xsi:type="string">*/*/new</item>
          <item name="style" xsi:type="string">display:none</item>
          </item>
          </item>

          – Go to YourNamespace/YourModule/Block/Adminhtml/addButton.php
          – Add the following code in the constructor of this file (it should be just below the call to parent constructor



          parent::__construct(); 
          $this->_removeButton('add');

            Rename customer_listing.xml to customer_custom_listing.xml and also update the new filename in NameSpace/Module/view/adminhtml/layout/customer_index_index.xml



             <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
            <referenceContainer name="content">
            <uiComponent name="customer_custom_listing">
            </uiComponent>
            </referenceContainer>


            Now you can delete the below lines from customer_custom_listing.xml to remove the button.



            <item name="buttons" xsi:type="array" >
            <item name="add" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="name" xsi:type="string">add</item>
            <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Add New Customer</item>
            <item name="class" xsi:type="string">primary</item>
            <item name="url" xsi:type="string">*/*/new</item>
