Cannot remove default "light" and "switch" group from states page

Help would be greatly appreciated as I have tried configuration changes, reading logs search web and forums and cannot resolve.
My setup is HA 0.23.1 on RP2 using insteon devices via an ISY 994i.
My dilemma is that I’ve created “lighting” and “Switches” groups in the configuration.yaml file to customize what displays on the states page but in addition a “light” and “switch” group also show up.
I’ve tried “hidden = true” about on the devices in the “customize:” section as well as set them up on a second tab with the “view: yes”. They show up on that second tab but still remain on the main page as well.
I’ve looked through all the Current entities on the “<>” page and through the home-assistant.log to find those objects to hide them with no success.
If there is a log extract needed or a copy of my config file let me know.
I like to be able to figure these things out for myself but I’ve spent too many hours and am not making progress.
Help please.

Create a default_view and choose what groups you want in it, like so:

default_view:
view: yes
entities:
- group.status
- group.lights
- group.media
- group.family
- thermostat.hallway
- sun.sun
- sensor.yr_symbol
- sensor.yr_temperature

That will make only those particular groups show up on the ‘landing page’. You can still have other views (tabs) on that page with specific groups or entities.
