How to disable this slide out menu?

[MustangDan74]

When I swipe either the right or left side of the screen I get this menu that pops up, it consists of a Google search bar, common apps, recent apps, settings shortcuts and an annoying ad. Is there a way to disable this? This is basically a brand new G5 with no custom launchers or anything like that.

Thanks-
Dan

That looks like the swipe feature included in ES File Explorer. If you have this app installed in your phone try disabling this option or even consider uninstalling it.

There are other apps, like Clean Master, Photo Editor or Z Camera, that seem to be pushing similar screens.
