Limit switches probably can't and shouldn't be disabled.
Do you need a limit switch there?
So long as the machine is homed, it won't exceed the soft limits unless the computer goes completely rogue.
Hard limits are preferable, but not always 100% necessary.

Are your switches wired as normally open or normally closed?
For a normally open switch, you can just disconnect it.
For a normally open switch, just somehow short the connection so it never trips.
Though that could be pretty dangerous.
Disable a limit switch at your own risk!

I tried to do it correctly so I wired them as normally closed. I have 2 limit switches on the axis and this one is also my home switch.
If I follow your advice then I need to revert everything to have the other LS as HS. This is not an issue to be honest, just thinking about the consequences.
