Edit > Preferences > Packages

In the field below "Installed Packages" type: "Tree View". This package has a few settings you can toggle, "Hide Ignored Names" is what you're looking for.

It's a really buried setting, not sure why.

You can also add it to your config:

'tree-view':
    'hideIgnoredNames': true
