    Could someone please help me to hide a button object?

    I have tried "backButton.GetComponent<Button> ().image.enabled = false;" and other things but not succeeded. Probably very simple :-(

    Finally found the answer. This is done by adding a Canvas Group and manipulate the Alpha property.

    You can also just set the game object to inactive.

    Enabled isn't the same as active. Enabled is just for components. Active is for the entire game object. I would be really surprised if it didn't disappear since I use it all the time. There is a Game Object.SetActive method you can call or it's the checkbox next to the object name in the inspector.
