Is it possible to remove alerts from KPIs?

You can delete an existing KPI alert, if this is what you are looking for.

02/02/2023, 4:26 PMKPI alerts are tied to your user within the project. Therefore, when you set up your own alert, only you will receive the notification. Other users do not see or manage your alerts.

02/03/2023, 4:30 PMActually, if you do not want to expose KPI alerts and your users only consume prepared dashboards (do not create their own), you can use Insight of type “Headline” instead of KPIs (that is one of the visualizations in the Analytical Designer). It looks very much like the KPI - a single number and there is no alert feature in it.
There are a few differences:
• since it is standard insight, you can set up drilling for it (i.e. click on the value to show some other dashboard)
• you can use completely different metric for comparison
• the comparison (if present) is displayed in percent and in absolute
• there is no red/green arrow for the comparison
