'Visual Studio exports everytime a Setup if i puplish my program. how to change? c#

Is there a way to compile my own program without having Visual Studio create a setup file? Would like a single .exe file. i dont understand why my program have to be installed. It's annoying after every update, first deinstall the old one, and I also don't think it's neat

This is what i got after puplish.

i saw it on many other projects from other people, they always had a single .exe.
