I'm struggling to unplot a layer as I don't have the printer icon on my layout settings
First of all, you can upload a dwg directly to your post. A link is not necessary. Probably safer too, since you don't have to share your file with the public.
The box you are referring to is the viewport itself. Create a layer called "Viewport" and set it's color and set the PLOT property to no plot. Then put the viewport on this new layer. If you don't want to see the viewport at all, you can turn off the layer. But first, I would select the viewport and LOCK the display property.

Show us what you see and where please: we all can set any layer to NOPLOT all day long in our AutoCAD variants all day long
Follow these steps,
1. Open the Layer Properties Manager
2. Click on the New Layer button
3. Name the layer "Viewports"
4. Click on the Plotter icon and a minus sign will appear. This means that the layer will not plot.
5. Select the viewport or viewports.
6 With the Quick Properties dialog showing, click on the Layer property and change it to the Viewports layer.
7. Set the scale
8. Lock the viewport.
9, Optional: Go back to the Layer Properties Manager and turn off the Viewports layer.

Oh my, you are not running the AUTOCAD ARCHITECUTRE software at all, aka the topic of this forum. This forum is for that specific software package, Windows-based, this is not for users in a Architect's office. Sorry.
You are running AutoCAD for MAC: it has a completely different interface and it's own forum way over here

I'll ask the admin to move your post over there, your layer list is unfamiliar to most in here trying to help you out. If you want to share your DWG file someone will help you set it to no-print in the meantime.
Hi Georgia,
If you don't see Plot property on the Layers Palette:
- right-click on the properties caption (1) and check-mark "Plot" property (2):
Now you should see it:
