Option 2:

data_df <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = c(3,5,2,5,6,2,7,6,5,4))
    
ggplot(data_df, aes(x, y)) +
      geom_bar(stat = 'identity') +
      theme(
        panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(),
        panel.grid.minor.x = element_blank(),
        panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
        panel.grid.minor.y = element_blank()
      )
