You need to set `mode-line-percent-position' to nil. The manual says
in this page
(info "(elisp)Mode Line Variables")
that the recommended way to do that is with customize, but I never
learned customize well enough... you can do it by evaluating the sexps
below with `C-x C-e':
;; Default (at least on my machine):
(setq mode-line-percent-position '(-3 "%p"))
;; No percentage (and no "All"/"Top"/"Bot"):
(setq mode-line-percent-position nil)
;; Update the mode line:
(redraw-display)
For more on `C-x C-e' see:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Lisp-Eval.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/How-to-Evaluate.html
By the way, it is possible to go to the customization page for
`mode-line-percent-position' by evaluating this...
(customize-variable 'mode-line-percent-position)
