Well, I'm not a native english speaker.
My mistakes may be funny sometimes.
All I hope is that they are not misleading, offending, injurious ...

As others remarked already

prints no BarLine, it is a check whether the measure is "full".

Do I understand correctly that you ask about empty/invisible/no
BarLine at some point of time?
And not about deleting a barcheck by hindsight?

If yes, easiest might be to use \bar "", (was said already).
Regard:

\relative c' {
    c1
    \bar ""
    |
    d
}
