Magento – Remove “We can’t find products matching the selection” category with not products

categorymagento2magento2.2

How do you remove "We can't find products matching the selection" from categories with not products assigned?

I have set display settings to 

Display Mode: Static Blocks Only
Anchor: Yes and also tried No with not results.

Reindexed and Cleared cache with no results

Magento Commerce 2.2.3
Multi Store Set up.

That message is being displayed in this template: /m222/vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/listing.phtml

You ca modify it in your custom theme: app > design > frontend > VendorTheme > yournewtheme > Magento_Catalog > templates > product > listing.phtml
