remove custom header functionality from admin menu

for instance, in Twenty Ten, this code in functions.php initializes the custom header area in admin:

// Add a way for the custom header to be styled in the admin panel that controls
	// custom headers. See twentyten_admin_header_style(), below.
	add_custom_image_header( '', 'twentyten_admin_header_style' );

check if your theme has a similar code in functions.php – and remove it.

I have a child functions.php file for my child theme. How do I completely remove this function? (Without altering the original functions.php file of the twentyten theme?)

So basically I want the functionality and back-end appearance to be totally gone..

Hey Alchymyth, thanks for the reply: didn’t see it until now.

Turns out the snippet I was looking for was just a buddypress function

define( 'BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER', true );

which I dropped into bp-custom. Sorry, it was a long day;-) Thought I’d share anyway, in case it helps anyone.

@florushj you should do what alchymyth says above. if you don’t want to completely remove it, just comment it out.
