If some formatting marks do not disappear from your text, they are probably permanently activated. In this case you have to disable the symbols separately:
Click on the “File” tab.
Then select the “Options” and switch to “Display”.
In the “Always show these formatting marks on the screen” area, uncheck the corresponding checkboxes.
Finally, confirm the changes with “OK”.
