Hello, i cant seem to figure out how to remove this small grid thing from the screen. Ive unchecked the show grid option and this other bigger grid disappeared but this small one is still there. Ive attached photo of it. Thanks.

Hi possibly it might be from Draft Workbench. Can try going to Draft Workbench and in Utilities / Toggle Grid. Don't use Draft and grid in my shows rulers (posssibly a setting) but goes away when I toggle grid.

pretty sure it's the draft workbench grid. typically gets toggled on when draft workbench is selected.

exit the Sketcher and use keyboard shortcuts g r to toggle it off.

I think that it is unlikely that this is the Draft grid. For one thing it does not have the default appearance and colors of a Draft grid. The OP should post a file.

Seems like neither poster wishes to follow procedure and post their FreeCad information, don't know for sure but the screenshot could be a function of OP's monitor or screen capture resolution.

Have backed up and reset preferences. Am able to produce a very similar screenshot albeit on a high resolution monitor.
Tend to agree without having further information with

You right. I opened and no grid. Had to go to draft preferences and set to use grid. Then had to save and exit and open file. Don't fully understand, thought the settings would be in the saved file. Sorry. Also may have to open Draft Workbench. Can't repeat what sequence triggers the grid. Did find needed use grid setting and restart. Note not blue, switched back to my preference of white.
