Sharepoint - Hide the "Add new Item" option below the sharepoint 2010 list

There's an out-of-the-box way to remove the Add new item link. If you edit the webpart properties using the Modify Shared Web Part command, you'll find the Toolbar Type dropdown in the List Views section. If you choose No Toolbar there and save the page, the footer link will be gone.

No code required, no unghosting/customization, and no effect on other web parts that would be added on the same page.

But you'll have to do this in every view, while the CSS way proposed by Hameds could be applied globally.

If you just want to hide it, you can use following css (you must override sharepoint core css with your custom css file)

td.ms-addnew{
display:none;
}

If you don't want to make the change globally, you could use a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) on the desired page. Edit the HTML source of the CEWP and insert Hameds' code inside a style tag:

<style>
    td.ms-addnew { display:none; }
</style>
