Good day.

You have multiple ways to “hide” a image like a sprite.

You can simple Deactivate the gameobject by

gameObject.SetActive(false);

or you can disable the image component of the sprite by

gameObject.GetComponent().enable=false;

or you can move its position outsite of the camera view, or change its Alpha color to be 100% transparent.

Bye!
