Note that with Lmod, you can specify a hidden module in the global
modulerc file.

Funnily enough, there's a PR for Lmod that suits exactly your use case:

Hi all,
when I started using EasyBuild, I didn't know about the option to hide
modules. Slowly, the list of installed modules becomes too long for
`module avail` to be useful for the user. So I would like to hide
modules. The question is, how should I do this?
1. Re-generate all modules (can I use EasyBuild to regenerate modules,
hiding them if I want to, without recompiling the code?)
2. Manually hide modules (probably a bad idea)
3. ???
It would be nice to have a best-practices document somewhere, but I
couldn't find any. [*]
Also, from what I understand, using minimal toolchains is generally a
good idea to keep the number of modules low -- correct?
I'd appreciate any guidance on how I can clean up my installation.
Cheers,
Andreas.
PS: I'm using lmod
[*] I'd be happy to write a blog post from a non-expert's perspective
(I'm no sysadmin, and our cluster is rather smallish, almost no
technical staff to maintain the software).
