Open your user settings under File/Preferences/Settings or you can use the shortcut "CTRL + Comma" then add a file exclude for .meta files like t$$anonymous$$s:

 "files.exclude": {
         "**/*.meta": true
       }

There is a very small button / icon that reads "Show/Hide all files" on hover. Toggling it off will $$anonymous$$de .meta files from your Solution explorer.

Your Solution explorer would supposedly display meta files like t$$anonymous$$s:

When toggled off, meta files are $$anonymous$$dden like below:
