Anybody know how to disable ad units in the new interface? I knew how in the old one!

Um, you don't really. You just stop using them and they go idle, and you can hide them if you don't want to see them, but there's no deactivating. You just stop displaying them.

Thanks netmeg. I should have been more specific, for feeds? How do you unfeed?

There used to be a deactivate option for feeds in the old interface. That's what I'm looking for.

Found it.

My ads > Feeds > Custom channels > Actions > Deactivate

Yea, but channels are just for reporting, aren't they? I'm not sure that actually takes the ads out of the feed - better check to be sure.

You're right. They're still showing up. Any idea how to get them out?

This is insane. There doesn't appear to be any way to remove them. I just Googled for it and found other people looking for the same thing. The 'Suspend' option in the old interface was left out of the new one. :-|

I found a workaround that there is no way to remove it (at this point) but if you go into the settings for AdSense for Feeds and change them to posts over 500 words and a high frequency, you might cause them not to display.

But yea, looks like there's no way to get rid of them, short of removing the feed.

Yup. Short of killing the feed, don't see a way out. I think I'll start a new thread addressing this, maybe John from AdTrafficQuality can pass on the news.
