Yii2 disable Bootstrap Js, JQuery and CSS

In web.php config file add the following code into components array:

'assetManager' => [
        'bundles' => [
            'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapPluginAsset' => [
                'js'=>[]
            ],
        ],
    ],

To be more comprehensive:

in order to disable Css (bootstrap.css):

'assetManager' => [
    'bundles' => [
        'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset' => [
            'css' => [],
        ],
    ],
],

in order to disable JS (bootstrap.js):

'assetManager' => [
    'bundles' => [
        'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapPluginAsset' => [
            'js'=>[]
        ],
    ],
],

in order to disable JQuery (jquery.js)

'assetManager' => [
    'bundles' => [
        'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => [
            'js'=>[]
        ],
    ],
],

In order to have all of them disabled:

'assetManager' => [
    'bundles' => [
        'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => [
            'js'=>[]
        ],
        'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapPluginAsset' => [
            'js'=>[]
        ],
        'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset' => [
            'css' => [],
        ],

    ],
],

UPDATE

As Soju mentioned in comments, another alternative way would be disabling these files in AppAsset class, which is located in ./assets/, then remove the following lines:

public $depends = [
   'yii\web\YiiAsset',              #REMOVE
   'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset',  #REMOVE
];
