Non functional pads

How do you remove non functional pads from inner layers inside the layout?

    Setup>Cross-section, expand the Physical settings, check the boxes for the layers that you want to remove the unused pads from, select the Unused Pads Suppression tab and enable Dynamic Unused Pads Suppression, OK the cross-section and go to Constraint Manager and Analyze>Analysis Mode, Spacing, enable all of the Hole checks, otherwise traces through holes will be permitted since the Hole will be the only remaining DRC object when Pads are suppressed.
