I've started to work on magento 2 and get my head around it, im really familiar with magento 1 and removing the welcome message was no big deal.

However all i've found the location of the welcome message in the header, but can't seem to find the xml to remove the block from the header.

Is it possible to remove the welcome message with the xml or do i need to simply comment out the switch inside of the header.phtml file??

Thanks.
